A dearly beloved son, brother, uncle and friend, William Michael Childs passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, July 24, 2021, at Atrium Health Navicent. He was 22 years old.
A middle Georgia native, Will was born on March 11, 1999, in Macon, Georgia. He was the son of Jeannie Kimsey Childs and Michael D. Childs. With a strong work ethic and casual charm, he found his passion with his first job at Fish 'n Pig. He worked diligently to become the assistant manager at such a young age. His goal was to become a part owner in the restaurant. Will was such an incredible, kind, adventurous, loving, caring and selfless young man. Will had a great passion for motocross racing and was proud of the many trophies and plaques he won on the tracks. In his spare time, he enjoyed being outdoors, attending music festivals with two of his closest friends, Molly Smith and Lindsey Justice, and being a prankster with his "partner in crime", Scott Kimsey. He has a fierce love for his family and friends.
