William Elijah Bullard (Jenkins), 18, of Rockingham, departed his earthly life on Monday, Dec. 4, 2023.
Will was born July 28, 2005 in Richmond County to April Bullard. He was a graduate of Richmond Senior High School, Class of 2023, and worked for Herberg Siding. Will loved God, his family, anything outdoors, especially hunting and working with his hands on any kind of machine. He gave his life to the Lord, was baptized in November 2023 and tried to bring his friends to God. He was a loyal and loving friend to many and liked to make sure everyone laughed.
He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Charlie J. Jenkins; and great-grandmother, Verla Steen.
Surviving are his parents, April Bullard and Charlie Justice Jenkins II; siblings, Alexis Bittle, Zachary Stubbs, Camryn Stubbs, Charley Jenkins, Emmalyn Jenkins and Jawan Jacobs-Thompson; grandparents, Verna Bullard, Danny Ray Bullard and Sallie Jenkins; and nephew, Kaden Jenkins.
