    I’ve never cried so much for someone that I never knew in person. His voice, passion and pure ability to sing from his beautiful soul was rare.

    God is control of our lives, no one knows when it is their destiny to leave this earth. It's nice to hear all those condolences about someone who lived for the Lord. Please, don't allow Willy's tragic death to go in vain. Now is your time to accept Jesus in your life. Let someone have something good to say about you as well. Jesus is calling you to repent. Let Willy feel proud in heaven.

    @@janetspell1396 Sounds like it was an 18-wheeler sitting on the shoulder of an exit and Willie slammed into it. I'm sure for the truck driver, if he was sitting in the truck, it was just a minor nudge from the rear accompanied with a nasty crashing sound. Still gonna be traumatizing knowing someone died on the back of his truck.
