William Baldwin Staver

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of William Baldwin Staver of Sandston, Virginia.  He was the only son of Mark and Betsy Staver, born on 11/27/92.  He is survived by his parents; his girlfriend, Christina Powell; his two dogs, Axel and Zeus; his aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friend, Briar – all of whom he loved dearly.

He was a 2011 graduate of Atlee High School and grew up in the Kings Charter neighborhood, surrounded by wonderful families and friends.  Will was an accomplished athlete in his younger years, especially in soccer and swimming.  He was a free spirit who would say what was on his mind, but he had the biggest heart and would give anyone the shirt off his back.  He loved tattoos and there were never enough.  He had a strong faith in his Christian foundation. He was a master negotiator and salesman.  He loved his “Baldwin Family” as well as the “Staver Family” and treasured the yearly beach trips.

His first job was with Ukrops at the age of 15, starting as a bagger and ultimately as a nighttime stocker.  He worked in landscaping for a while and with Tolly Electric, where he completed their 4-year electrician program and graduated in 2018… probably his biggest accomplishment. For the past few years, he had been working for MC Dean as an electrician.  Will had an incredible work ethic and enjoyed the work that he did.

A memorial service will be held at Church of the Redeemer, 8725 Meadowbridge Rd., Mechanicsville, VA on Friday, March 10th, 2023 beginning at 11 AM with a reception to follow.

Memorial contributions can be made to the SPCA or to any organization which supports addiction recovery.
