Wow the smile has not changed - I used to cut G-dub's hair at Coke's Barber Shop in Peoria, IL when he was very young. I remember when he was given the chance to go to Disney World to work behind the scenes, he was so excited. By reading the other memorials, I can see he did not loose any of his excitement for life. God has surely blessed him beyond measure. Remember, Life is eternal, you may not be able to see him but you can still talk with GW and ask him to pray for you when you need help. That is what the Communion of Saints is about. Wayne and family, I will have a Mass prayed by the Community of St. John in Princeville, IL for GW. Be strong in the Lord - GOD BLESS - Terry

Sad to hear of GW's passing. May eternal light shine upon him.

Carrie and family, I am so sad to hear of GW's passing. He was an incredible man who radiated Christ in all he said and did. I so enjoyed working at Sharethon and Vision. My prayers to you as you go through this time of adjustment. He undoubtedly is sharing his wit and wisdom in Heaven!

our deepest condolences to the family of G. W. May God put his loving arms around you and comfort you in this time of trials. Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted. Please be comforted....

My dear Carrie I am so sorry about GW although we were cousins I only saw him when he was a child, Aunt Phyl was so happy about having him, our sons were born 1 month apart , but we never lived back in Illinois so not close to cousins but will miss him and my prayers are for you and your children my son passed at 42 also from cancer so I know your pain love Jackie & Dale Blevins and family

Carrie and children, I am so very sorry to hear of GW's death. I always enjoyed working for him at concerts and the State Fair. I remember the last time I saw him at a concert, I was helping Compassion and he came up and gave me a big hug. He was a great guy. Love you all Pat

What a great guy to work with at the Disney Store. He had an amazing look on life. I will remember him and your family in my prayers. Time will heal and he is now watching over all of you and will guide you from above. Rest in peace, GW.

G.W. was a child at heart. I'm sure he's in heaven having a BLAST!!!

Carrie and family

My heart breaks for you upon hearing of GW's passing. He was such a kind-hearted man. I will keep you and your children in my prayers.

Words cannot express the joy I have in my heart for having the privilege of knowing this man and his family. Many memories from Agape fest and WIBI. An amazing man of God taken too soon but will never be forgotten.

To my darling cousin: you fought this fight with much bravery and integrity and this is a beautiful legacy to leave your children with. I wish I could of been able to see you more but maybe in the future I'll get to see all of my little cousins with your beautiful wife. We know you are in heaven with our Lord and Saviour and its the people who are left on earth that will mourn and grieve. I will pray that God will give them all the strength they need to get through this. R.I.P. my sweet cousin. Do you know how hard it is to find Mickey Mouse balloons outside of Disney World? whew.

G.W. was an amazing and strong man who loved God with all his heart. We will miss you G but we will see you again. -Sarah

GW was such an amazing person. My life has been truly blessed and enriched by having had him as a part of my world. His wit and sarcasm always brought a smile to my face. He will always be my "G" - one of kind. Love you G and miss you very much. Hugs and prayers to Carrie, Jaeden, Gavin, Lauren, Devin, and Lincoln.
