With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Willie McDuffy Jr., a beloved father, grandfather, son, and friend, who left us on September 25, 2026. Born on October 16, 1969, in Greensboro, North Carolina, Will brought joy, creativity, and love to those fortunate enough to know him.

Will's life was a testament to his passions and talents. He graduated from West Charlotte Senior High School, where he was a vibrant member of the renowned Dub C Marching Band, Class of 1988. His love for music and dance was not just a pastime but a calling that he embraced wholeheartedly.

With a self-taught mastery, Will made a name for himself in the music industry. He produced songs for Trackmaster and shared his musical genius with the local group Lower Level, which he formed alongside his late brother Barry, and dear friends Milt and Jay. His talent and dedication to his craft left a mark on all who heard his music.

He is survived by his loving children, Haseem McDuffy, Kieara McDuffy, and Micah Nicole Chatman, who carry forward his legacy with pride and love. Will was a cherished grandfather to Bryant Barnes III, Zahra McDuffy, Messiah McDuffy, Amina McDuffy, Dallas Council, and Riley Council, each of whom brought immense joy to his life.

The son of Howard and Selena Hill (Willie McDuffy, Sr.), Will was a beacon of light within his family. He was predeceased by his beloved brother, Barry Allen McDuffy, and dear Aunt Judy Kay Hubert Morgan, with whom he shared a profound bond.

Willie McDuffy, Jr will be remembered for his kindness, his music, and his unwavering devotion to his family. His spirit will continue to dance in our hearts, and his legacy will be cherished by all who knew him.
