We've been receiving calls and messages from Indiana, Oregon, Texas, Colorado, and Idaho over the last few days asking if the funeral service will be available online.

Throughout his courageous battle with osteosarcoma, the young man from Fosters, Alabama, inspired countless people across the country and around the world. His story of faith, perseverance, and strength touched lives in ways few could have imagined, creating a worldwide community of supporters who have continued to follow his journey and keep up with his parents, Brittany and Jason, and sister, Charlie.

As family, friends, and supporters prepare to celebrate Will’s life this weekend, many have asked how they can participate in the service if they cannot travel to Tuscaloosa. To help those who cannot attend in person, Magnolia Chapel South Funeral Home will live stream the funeral service.

The visitation and celebration of life will be held on Saturday, August 1, at Shelton State Community College in Tuscaloosa. Visitation is scheduled from 9:00 a.m. until Noon, with the funeral service beginning at 12:00 p.m. Following the service, a procession will travel to the cemetery for those who wish to attend.

For those planning to attend in person, Magnolia Chapel South Funeral Home has shared several important parking instructions. Guests who plan to participate in the procession to the cemetery are asked to park in the back parking lot. Those attending only the visitation and funeral service should use the front and side parking lots, where parking attendants will be available to help direct traffic. All guests are asked to enter the building through the front atrium.

For those unable to attend in person, the funeral service may be viewed live online by visiting www.MagnoliaFH.com. Once there, click on Will Roberts’ obituary and follow the live-stream link located at the bottom of the obituary page.

As West Alabama says goodbye to one of its own, Will’s legacy continues to unite people from every corner of the country, reminding us that a life marked by courage, hope, and faith can leave an impact that reaches far beyond the community he called home.
