With lots of cousins and relatives that loved him.
Will had an infectious laugh that could make anyone laugh along with him. He loved his family and knew when they walked into a room because of the huge smile that would come across his face. Will was a fighter, he fought so hard for his life throughout his 25 years on this earth. Although he never spoke a verbal word, his family, especially his parents, knew his language and could speak for him. His physical disabilities, which he had from the day he was born, are no longer a hindrance to him. He is completely healed today, laughing, talking, and walking in Heaven.
Visitation will be at 1:00 pm on Wednesday, April 23, 2025 at Bethany Baptist Church in Spring Hill, AR with Bro. Eric Fisher and Bro. Revel Kidd officiating. Funeral service will follow at 2:00 on Wednesday, April, 23, 2025. Burial will be in Huckabee Cemetery in Spring Hill, AR.
The Yocom family would love to thank the many nurses who have come into their home and helped them take care of Will. They would also like to thank Heather Manor Nursing Home and their staff for the love and compassion they have shown their family during this time. Also to the Dierksen hospice staff for providing care and comfort these last few weeks.
