I JESSE DAVIDSON pulled the toolbox out of the water it was already open i did not pry it open i removed the collars and contacted his niece as soon as i got them. a friend of his stopped and i told him i pulled the toolbox out and asked if he could get ahold of his family he tried but didnt have any luck so fore those of you that make the comments about me being a sorry piece you must not know me because theres not a thieving bone in my body. i guess thats what ya get when you try to do the right thing.if any one has any thing bad they would like to say about what i done im all ears.i done what i felt was right.

every single time that i saw Willie he would come up to me and shake my hand and ask me how has it been going. and i don’t recall one time that i ever saw him without a big smile on his face. Willie your body is gone. but your spirit and memory will always live on.

-DeeDee.
I am glad that the tool box was found & returned. But whoever has taken the tracking collars must be a sorry piece. If they knew Willie, they would know that his dogs & tracking collars was a must have. To take something from someone right after they pass is a pretty low person. My Prayers are still with yalls family. The Merritt Family has always been there for mine, for our rough times. I hope whoever has taken Willie’s things returns them.

To everyone, Willies toolbox has been secured by a family friend Bobby Hughes thank you Bobby, but when Bobby aquired it the tool box had been pried open and Willies things were gone, we don’t care about the tools but we would like to have his tracking collars back. Willie worked very hard for what he had and that was something he was proud of, please whom ever has them call his brother Ray at 698-8484 nothing will said, we just would like to have them, and thank you all again for all the wonderful things being left on this site it has lifted the families spirits to know how much he was loved.

Willie was so much more than a friend to our family. We feel as though we’ve lost another child. God has a plan for all of us and Willie was certainly an angel on earth that touched and blessed many lives. We are all blessed to have had the privilage of knowing Willie and sharing his life with him. May God give his family and friends strength, peace and comfort at this time.
