changed and full of new hope when he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior in 2016 and began growing in his faith. Willie had many friends whom he considered his "family" from his home churches, City Calvary Chapel in Shoreline, WA and Calvary Chapel Edmonds in Edmonds, WA. He attended faithfully until his health made it impossible to attend. It was a privilege to know him and be part of his life. He is survived by two adult children: Amber Lynn (Jewett) Gagliardi and Justin Franklin Jewett, three sisters: Gloria, Angelita and Sherri, and many friends and family members.
