Willie L. Derifaj's Obituary
Willie L. Derifaj, age 46, passed away peacefully in his sleep at his parent’s home on Thursday, December 1, 2022 after battling a long illness.
Willie enjoyed creating graphic design. He was a warm and loving young man who could always make others laugh and immediately brighten their day. He was also kind, considerate and never hesitated to help others. Most of all, he lived for the time he spent with his 11 year old daughter, Evelyn Rose, whom he loved so very much. Willie was a wonderful father and son and undoubtedly will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him, especially by his only daughter, Evelyn Rose Norman. He is also survived by his parents, Steven & Mary E. (nee Bethel) Derifaj as well as 2 grandmothers, his aunts,uncles & cousins, and his good friends. Arrangements are under the care of the Dovin and Reber Jones Funeral & Cremation Center, 1110 Cooper Foster Park Road, Amherst.
