WILLIAM A. HIEATT

FOREVER 34

William “Will” Hieatt was a light in the lives of all who knew him. He loved big, lived big, and made the world better just by being in it. A devoted father to two beautiful daughters, Will’s love for his girls was immeasurable. He was the kind of dad who made every moment special, filling their lives with laughter, warmth, and an unshakable sense of love. His daughters will carry his memory as a beacon of the care and joy he brought to their lives.

Will had a heart of gold—genuine, kind, and open. His authenticity made him a friend to everyone he met, and his vibrant personality made him unforgettable. He brought people together with his infectious energy and his ability to see the good in others. To know Will was to be touched by his sincerity and generosity.

His accidental passing due to a Fentanyl overdose has left an ache in the hearts of his family and friends that words cannot fully capture. As Bob and Sherry so beautifully expressed, "He had a heart of gold. He left this world way too soon. Love you like a son."

The impact of Will’s life is woven into the memories of all who loved him. Though his time here was far too short, his legacy lives on in the laughter of his daughters, the love he shared with his family, and the countless hearts he touched along the way.

Will, you are deeply missed, endlessly cherished, and forever remembered. Rest peacefully, knowing your light continues to shine in the hearts of those who loved you.
