A Reflection of Willie's Life

Willie Willis, Jr. was born on August 30, 1961, in Calhoun County, MS. He departed this earthly life on January 30, 2025.

Willie had a strong faith in God, which guided him throughout his life. He received his formal education from Calhoun City High School and soon after entered the working field. Affectionately known as "Bill Dog" to his family and friends, Willie had a natural talent for tinkering with various projects, especially fixing vehicles. When he wasn't working as a mechanic, he could be found being a handyman, repairing and maintaining things around the house. He also dabbled in carpentry, showcasing his versatility and dedication. Willie was truly an all-around Handy-Man.

Although he did not have any children, Willie's heart was filled with love for his step-children, nieces, and nephews. They were the light of his life, and he cherished them deeply. His presence brought warmth and joy to all who knew him.

Left to cherish his fondest memories are his mother, Alice Fay Willis; three sisters, Shirley Steward (Thomas), Ora Jean Willis and Tina Shelton (Darius); two brothers, Richard Willis and Michael Willis (Tammy); three step-daughters, Shaleatha Conner, LaTasha Conner and Mandy Langford.  He also leaves a host of nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

Willie is preceded in death by his father, James C. Willis; two brothers, James Allen Willis and Jimmy Willis.

Willie will forever be missed and cherished by his family and friends. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him, and his legacy of kindness and hard work will never be forgotten.
