William is the beloved grandson of Sally (Noyes) Carmody and John Carmody of Wayland and Kathleen (Hill) McInnis and Charles McInnis, Sr. of Framingham.

William touched so many lives with his open heart and he will live on in our memories forever. He was sweet, kind, curious, and thoughtful. He had the most contagious smile and gave the absolute best hugs.

William loved spending time with friends and family, and his dog Brooks. He was a best friend to his big sister Madelyn. He could often be found on the sports field playing football, baseball, or soccer. He was a hard-working second grade student at Loker School in Wayland where he was a caring friend to his classmates.

William loved building legos, playing video games, drumming on his drum set, and reading graphic novels. He was an expert at making pancakes and boxed macaroni and cheese. He was happy, funny, full of energy, and lived every moment to its fullest. He brightened the lives of all those around him.
