William was an avid roller skater and truly enjoyed bowling on the weekends with the family in the bowling league. He was always up to a challenge when it came to these two hobbies. William had a smile that always lit up the room and would make you to smile back. He had a caring heart and would always be there for his family and friends when needed.

To Lady..I am so heart-broken over William’s passing. It’s hard to not feel sad because I love you so much. Although I didn’t get to see William grow up, I was there when he was a baby. Sooo cute! He was a good baby. I loved taking care of him when you went out. I would play in his pretty hair, wash him up, put his pj’s on him, then give him cookies!! He loved it. I stretch my arms out to you all the way from Detroit. I am blowing you continual kisses. May God keep William’s children in perfect peace and guide them right now! May God be with us all.
Your God-sister Treena
RIP William Alexander Brookins Sr.
