William Hersey Sears, age 39, was born June 26, 1977 and passed away peacefully in his sleep on January 12, 2017. He was the oldest of 8 children born to Dennis and Eileen (Montgomery) Sears on June 26, 1977 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Will is survived by his 7 siblings: John (Itsuka) Sears, Kristin (Ammon) Hardy, Jennifer (Aaron) Olsen, Emily (David) Sudweeks, Megan (Steven) Glenn, Ruth (John David) Clark, Alyssa (Ben) Hansen; one grandmother, Alice Montgomery; several aunts, uncles, and cousins; and 14 nieces and nephews.
