A personal note
The man who stood at the grill, smoke in the air, handing out plates of perfect brisket. The man with the endless stories — about being a Texas sheriff, about war, about adventures that felt larger than life. The man who took us to Mexico in the summer, walked the beaches with us, made my mom smile in ways that lit up the whole room. You brought her to new places — South Padre, the Oregon coast, the Hill Country — and you seemed proud to stand by her side. You met my friends, my girlfriends, shared laughs over dinners, taught us how to shoot, spent weekends like family should.
And now? That man is gone. Replaced by someone I barely recognize. Someone selfish. Someone cruel. Someone so far off the deep end I’m not sure you even know how to swim back. This is my eulogy to the William Vicory we all once knew — because he’s dead. And in his place stands a fraud I can’t trust, a stranger who’s burning down everything good he ever built. A warning to anyone who meets you now: The man you see is not the man I knew.
