William Eli Purdy Obituary

With heavy hearts, we announce the death of William Eli Purdy (Norcross, Georgia), born in Cumming, Georgia, who passed away on March 15, 2026 at the age of 14. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of William Eli Purdy to pay them a last tribute.

As William departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though William may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy William leaves behind.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Ryan Purdy and Mary Purdy; his brother Spencer; his great-grandparent Owen Cox; and his grandparents, Richard, Terry Purdy, Deborah Hobbs, Randall and Cindy Spencer. He was also cherished by many aunts, uncles, cousins.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations in Will's honor to the Aflac Cancer Center or the Make-A-Wish Foundation, organizations that reflect the hope and joy Will shared with the world.

Matthew Allen wrote a sympathy message

“Though I only knew Will as the guy from church, he was always there. Whether listening to our youth teacher or playing a fun game with the others, he was there. He is gone way too soon, but I hope that he is at peace and is going through with his wildest dreams up in heaven. Rest In Peace, Will. My condolences go to The Purdys, his friends, and anyone in pain at the loss of Will.”
