Dec. 8, 2001 — May 29, 2022
William Phillip Johnson, also known as Will, Willy and Bigboy, passed away on Sunday, May 29, 2022 in St. George Utah, where he was loved by so many family and friends.
He was born on Dec. 8th, 2001 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
He’s the son to Anthony L. Johnson & Sandra Bilagody, their fighter; their baby boy.
He attended school at Snow Canyon Middle School for one year then continued on at Pineview Middle and High school, where he met his close friend Ezikio.
He worked at Wagon Wheel Diner and Bishop’s Restaurant located in Washington Utah, where he met a lot of his very close friends who adored him.
Those of you who had the chance to meet William knew how much he cared for people – he was so gentle, yet so strong.
He loved his friends. He would always go out of his way to check on them to make sure they were doing okay and he was always supportive of them.
He loved his Navajo culture and anything indigenous. He loved going back to his second home in Tuba City, Ariz. He loved his fry bread, Hot Cheetos and junk food.
We’ll miss him dearly. This world, this lifetime will forever be different without him in it.
Our family would like to express our full gratitude to everyone who reached out to show their love and to share their stories.
For our brother, son, cousin, nephew, grandson and friend.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making memories with William and being apart of the 20 years he had on this earth.
He is survived by his parents: Anthony L. Johnson and Sandra Bilagody.
His siblings: Shenell C. Bilagody, Kalby R. Johnson, Myra N. Johnson and Jayven R. Bilagody.
We’ll miss his infectious smile and laugh. We’ll miss car rides and late night talks. Cherish the memories with him. Hold your loved ones close and never hold back on saying “I love you.”
His service will be on Saturday, June 4th, 2022 at 10:30 a.m at the Santa Clara Stake Center located at 3040 Santa Clara Drive, Santa Clara UT.
