His son Nathen confirmed the tragic news
"Nathen and I always talk," he told People.
"We talk about everything that a lot of his friends’ parents say, ‘I can’t talk to my kid about that.’ We tend to work it out together because we are partners in this."
Added Nathen: "I used to call him Willie, now I call him Dad."
Willie served as a spokesperson for National Adoption Day twice.
