The Good Lord needed a most special angel on March 5th. Willie Freeman went peacefully at home surrounded by his family two days after his 67th birthday following a battle with cancer.

Willie was born on March 3, 1954. He attended high school in Groveton, Texas and has lived in Longview, Texas for 40 years. He was an AIR FORCE veteran who served his country in the Republic of Vietnam. He loved hunting, fishing, traveling with wife Donna, and spending time with family and his fur babies Bizzy and JoJo. Willie spent most of his career working in the oil and gas industry, most recently as a Consultant for Diamondback in West Texas.
