Willis was born Dec. 27, 1943, and died Aug. 31, 1995, at the age of 51. He was born with severe cerebral palsy and grew up in Broadus. Later, he moved to Billings. Willis used his intelligence and determination and good humor to compile an impressive list of accomplishments and a large circle of friends. At last year's State Conference on Disabilities, Willis was named one of Montana's outstanding people with disabilities. Over 200 friends and state leaders applauded and cheered for Willis as he received his award. One of his greatest dreams was realized when STEP and other programs helped him move from a nursing home into an assisted living apartment where he had more space and freedom. Willis was thrilled when a special program at MSU-Billings found him a part-time job. With a job coach, he worked a couple of hours each week checking swimmer's IDs. His friendliness made him a great hit with the faculty, students and others. Another program at MSU-Billings, PLUK, helped Willis use a computer where he chose a greeting card, chose a message and printed a card. Willis cherished his time with the staff and programs at the Billings Activities Program. Willis used a computer to play his favorite computer games. He enjoyed special outings with BAP staff. Willis looked forward to another winter when he could again participate in Eagle Mount's ski program for disabled. His caring family was an important part of his life. For years, his mother, Gertrude Mahan, made his favorite foods. His stepfather, Vaughn Mahan, made sure Willis' TV was fixed and took care of other needs. Willis treasured their visits. Willis was hopeful that better technology would be developed that would help him communicate. Friends were always greeted with a big, bright 'Willis smile'. He always asked, "How are you?' Whenever someone would relate something that he knew, Willis would smile and say, 'I know.' Services will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 5, in the chapel of Stevenson and Sons Funeral Home in Broadus with interment in the family lot in Valley View Cemetery." The Billings Gazette, September 3, 1995
