Wilson Harrell Foltz

On March 30, 2014, Wilson Harrell Foltz passed into heaven where he has found peace at last. For a number of years, he battled depression until it tragically overcame him. Wil was loved dearly by his family and will forever be remembered as a loving, high energy kid, who treated adults with respect and was gentle with smaller children. He was a lover of animals, especially his dog Biscuit. He was also a good athlete and a very bright young man who could figure out most anything that involved electronics. Wil was born in Washington, DC on August 20, 2000, but has lived in Little Rock from the 6th month of his life. He graduated from Forest Park Elementary School and was attending Christ the King middle school at the time of his death. Wil was a popular student at both Forest Park and Christ the King. He was a standout basketball player for Christ the King averaging over 10 points per game and nearly as many blocked shots. He also loved to duck hunt, snow ski, go to the lake, Ripstick, play neighborhood football, listen to music and be with friends. Wil loved his mother, father and fraternal twin brother, Davis, who was a constant companion, confidant and partner in crime. They threw the football, played tennis in the street, shot hoops and simply maintained a friendship that will last forever, into eternity. Wil is survived by his parents, Tiffani Davis Foltz and Thomas Price Foltz III, and his fraternal twin brother, Davis Albers Foltz all of Little Rock. His grandparents Mike and Rosemary Davis (Mt. Pleasant, Texas), Susan Mayes (Little Rock) and Thomas P. Foltz Jr. and Janie Foltz (Fort Smith).
