He joined the Army in October of 1995 and received several commodations while serving. William liked silly sitcoms like Gilligan's Island as a kid and he used to make everyone laugh. But when he joined the Army, his serious side emerged. He joined to take care of his daughter.
William mailed a Mother's Day card early this year so it would reach his mother in time. He wrote that he wanted to "make it back home to see everyone" but kept a positive outlook. He said, 'I read my Bible and I stay prayed up and if something happens to me it's just my time to go.' He was a member of the Mt. Moriah Baptist Church.
Funeral Services will be held at Antioch Baptist Church on May 13, 2005 at 12:00 p.m. with burial in G.W. Carver. His memories will be cherished by his wife, Roxanne D. Brooks; mother, Linda Brooks; daughters, Ayana T. Freeman and Aaryan L. Brooks; grandmothers, Annie M. Brooks and Willie A. Brooks; mother-in-law, Glenda Dominick; father-in-law, Floyd Dominick Jr.; brothers-in-law, sister-in-law, several aunts, uncles, cousins, God father, Larry L. Williams; soldiers of Ft. Stewart, GA and Baghdad Iraq, other relatives and many friends.
