In loving memory of William Acosta (Big Will, or Billy, to most)

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of William Acosta. As many of you know, William was a kind, fun, and compassionate soul to everyone he came across. Often seen dancing to Depeche Mode or Sade on his beautiful red boat in the channels of Lake Mohave, he was the rock of his family and absolutely larger than life! He will be dearly missed.

We have created this fund to help his wife, Kimmara, his son, Turner, and the family manage the unexpected financial burden of funeral and memorial costs. Any contribution will make a huge difference and is deeply appreciated. The funds raised will go directly towards expenses such as the funeral home, cremation service, and transportation.

William's final wishes were to have his ashes spread across the back of Catalina Island, where he frequently caught many big eye tuna with his greatest fishing buddies. Please help us give William a beautiful and fitting farewell. We also welcome you to share your favorite memories and photos of William in the comments below.
