Celebrating The Life Of Charles William Willis, Jr: Charles William Willis Jr., age 52, died at St. John Hospital, Detroit, Michigan, on Monday, July 20, 2015. Born March 11, 1963, in Detroit, Michigan. He graduated from Mackenzie High School in 1981. He was a proud “Stag.” He was very diversified in careers, however no matter the venture he was dedicated to anything he was doing and would give one hundred percent. He respected time and felt doing a good job made his job easier. One thing that was crazy about him was whenever he would get a project to do that came with instructions he would never read anything just put it together and see what happened even if it had extra screws left. He was attending Bakers College in Clinton Township for his bachelor degree in radiology. His first semester at Bakers College he made the Deans List. On December 24, 1988, he married Lisa Adele Chism. They had three boys, Charles William Willis, William Charles Willis, Steven William Willis. He worked for A&P Farmer Jack for 17 years until they closed down. He became his brother's partner in the insurance restoration business for more than ten years. He was presently the manager for “Lucy’s” the family’s shoe store business. Charles was disciplined and dedicated to his family and anything he committed to doing. He had a spirit of adventure and tenaciousness that allowed him to achieve things he focused on. His interests included family, traveling and education. He devoted his life to his family and his brother. Charles was known by many to be the easiest person to talk to when you had a problem and you would get it real deal whether you liked it or not. He was caring and a loving husband, father, grandfather and brother. He decided to go back to school get his degree in the medical industry. When he would come to work the guys would call him, “Old Yella” and make barking sounds. They knew when Old Yella was barking it was time to get it together. His bark was harder than his bite. Charles was kind-hearted and helpful to many people. He was a friend to people. His kindness will not be forgotten because he has touched lots of hearts. God felt it was time to take you home and that's something we all have to live with. Bro, you're missed beyond any words I can express. You will be missed everyday and never forgotten. I hope your spirit stays with me because I would rather have some of you than nothing at all.
