This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one William Beals who was born in Michigan on  December 10, 1989 and passed away on  May 19, 2009 at the age of 19. We will remember him forever. William was the second oldest child of three.  William attended the Detroit Public Schools: Hutchinson Elementary and Columbus Middle School. He graduated from Southeastern High School of Technology in 2008 with a 4.0 GPA where he was an active member of the JROTC and Robotics Teams. William was instrumental in the development of " Young Dynasty Entertainment" (YDE), a musical partnership sponsored by Motown Records in collaboration with community-In-Schools (CIS). William was a YDE poet known for the phrase "Where there's a WILL there's a way!"

William went on to further his education at Michigan Career and Technical Institute in Plainwell, Michigan where he made his transition on Tuesday, May 19, 2009. William was alway's a child that was born ready. His famous words were "I was born ready!"

William was known from the day of his birth as "Kriket". He was a very smart and intelligent young man as well as caring, loving and honest. Kriket loved everything Star Wars as well as a love for computers and video games. He was known for volunteering for his community where he lived The Villages at Parkside and The Friends of Parkside.

We are connected, my son and I,

by an invisible cord not seen by the eye.

It's not like the cord that connects us at birth;

This cord can't be seen by any on earth.

This cord does it's work right from the start; it binds us together, attached by the heart.

I know it's there, though no one can see this invisible cord, from my son to me.

The strength of this cord, it's hard to describe, it can't be destroyed, it can't be denied.

It's stronger than any cord man can create, it withstands the test and can hold any weight.

And though you are gone and you're not here with me

the cord is still there though no one can see.

It pulls at my heart, I am bruised, I am sore,

but this cord is my lifeline as never before.

I am thankful that God connects us this way,

a mother and son...Death can never take away.

I will forever love you son. You will alway's be my mini me.

Lil'John and William

The time we shared is timeless, we will never 

  be apart. Couldn't wait to see 

you with your license, riding in your car.

We were going to move in together, getting 

wives and having kids when we got our money 

stacked to the sky. The sky was alway's the

limit. Grandma used to say that all the time.

I'm gon miss you bro, why did you have to go?

I remember how you used to make me laugh to the

floor. I'm, gon see you big bro.

Oh, I bet you didn't know that you are my hero.

I love you, Kricket.

Your Lil bro Buddah
