Throughout his life, William carried with him the fond memories of reading the Bible with his grandmother Mabel. This early connection with spirituality and faith continued to guide him, offering comfort and wisdom throughout his journey. William, affectionately known as Will, grew up in Oakland, California, where he attended public schools. As a young man, he tried his hand at various jobs, but it was in the world of construction that he found his true calling. Working outdoors, using his hands and strength, gave him purpose and joy. His dedication and hard work were evident in every project he undertook, leaving behind a legacy of craftsmanship and reliability. William was a man of many interests, known for his enthusiasm and zest for life. His hobbies and passions were varied, and his infectious spirit inspired those around him to embrace each day with gratitude and joy. His kindness, humor, and unwavering support for family and friends will be deeply missed. He is survived by his first wife, Mia Spears and their son Britton and daughter Bria Spears, His second wife Sarah Adams. His siblings, La Toya Drake, Candace, Martez, and Durell Roberts. His auntie Joann (Spears)and husband Steve Love and Uncle Henry Spears. His mother, Tara Jean Drake, remains a pillar of strength for the family.
