William "Will" Hollingsworth Jr.

March 30, 1962 — June 14, 2024

William Hollingsworth of White Haven passed away suddenly on Friday, June 14th 2024 at the age of 62. He was born in Philadelphia on Friday March 30th, 1962.

He is preceded by his parents William Hollingsworth Sr. and Nora Shields; his father-in-law Phillip Costa and his two son's Billy and Jesse Hollingsworth. He is survived by his wife of 29 years, Carla Costa; their daughter Erin Hollingsworth and the loving extended family: Vivian Costa, Chase Weichman, Jen Quevedo, Silas Zink and Kylo Bean, who all meant the world to him.

Will was a devoted father and husband. He lived every day for his family. Whatever anyone needed at any time, he was there. He enjoyed rides on his Harley, the company of his fat cat Hamilton, going to his camper hide away outside of LBI where he would sit by the fire with a fruity drink, spend time with his family and walk his grandpuppy Kylo Bean on the beach. He was part of the successful trivia team "The Toe Beans" where once they almost finished higher than 6th place. He loved to cook NY strip for Kylo and Carla (in that order). He would drive Carla to see the sunsets where they would sit and think about their boys. He would visit Billy and Jesse
everyday , without fail, always making sure that everything was in place and perfect.

Will proudly loved to watch his grandson Silas play many sports. He cherished his sister June and his nephew Bobby who's selfless organ donation gave him many more years with his family. Will loved his family vacations. There was never a time he wasn't planning the next trip to Universal Studios; which always seemed to start on our last day with the help of Erin of course. He was just a big kid having a blast seeing and doing things for the 100th time was still like the first time for him. This joy spread to all those around him. Those moments will be cherished forever thanks to him. He was a simple man, who loved simple joys in life, like a good bowl of cereal before bed and his sweet treats Erin and Chase always brought him and just being with the people he loved most.

He will be so missed by this family, he was our rock behind the scenes always making sure everyone was ok. Our hope is that he has reunited with his Billy boy and Jesse man and that he knows how much he was loved and treasured on this earth. Thank you for loving us every day , Papa Bear.
