William Coles Funeral Arrangements & Expenses

Hello all,

I am Erica Martin. It saddens me to have to even write this, but on July 16th Hakim; that is what we call him, but you all known him to be Will passed away. My son was such a breath of fresh air. His smile always lit up the room. No matter how serious a matter was, you could always count on him to crack a joke. Didn’t matter if it was at church or if he was working. He made sure when you left him you walk away with either knowledge, encouragement and a smile.

Hakim was a blessing to everyone he encountered. He was always willing to go above and beyond for others and never wanted anything in return. He had a heart for people and a passion to make sure people became the best versions of themselves. There wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for you.

Hakim has impacted so many lives and it’s truly heartwarming yet sad to hear all the lovely stories and memories you all have shared with him. This is a huge shock to us all and very unexpected. And we are asking for assistance to help the Coles’ family cover expenses for the funeral and memorial services for my son. For those unable to donate, we ask that you keep our family in your prayers to help heal from this tragic loss.

After the funeral and burial everything that is left over will go to his two children. Again we appreciate the outpouring of love and support near and far.

With Love,

The Coles and Martin Family
