Williams Marin Medina

Williams Eduardo Marin Medina, 45, of Charlotte, tragically fell into and drowned at Mountain Island Lake while fishing on May 21, 2024. Willy was born in Veracruz, Mexico, on Aug 3, 1978, the son of Augusto and Catalina Marin. He grew up there and then came to the Charlotte area in the early 2000’s to join his family. Willy was a very hard-working man and he made friends wherever he went. He enjoyed hiking, fishing, exploring nature and all the outdoors had to offer along with his son, Willy and many friends. His love of nature extended to voluntary cleanups with his nephews, who may or may not have “volunteered”. He made a point to spend time with his mother (and step-father) several times a week. There, he not only enjoyed delicious home cooked meals but also took part in lively conversation on current events, stories from work and life in general. His mother could count on his frequent text messages, sharing his love for her with warmth and sincerity. Willy was always looking forward to going back to Mexico to spend time with his son, Eduardo and start the next chapter of his life in Mexico. Willy is survived by his sons: William and Eduardo; his mother, Catalina, of Charlotte; his father Augusto Marin of Veracruz; his stepfather, Cirilo Tolentino; his siblings: Augusto Marin, Guadalupe (Rolando Diaz) Marin, Brenda (Eduardo Cora) Marin, Maria Tolentino, Jose Tolentino; nieces and nephews: Alyssa Marin, Carlos Figueroa, Catalina Figueroa, Cesar Marin, and Ethan Diaz. Williams is further survived by his loving aunts and cousins in Mexico as well as numerous other relatives and friends in both Mexico and the United States. He was preceded in death by his grandparents and his niece, Cristina Marin. Graveside services will be held at 11 AM on Wednesday, May 29, at Evergreen Cemetery in Charlotte. Visitation will take place from 5 to 8 pm on Tuesday, May 28, at the family’s home, 3801 Tipperary Place, Charlotte. Willy’s family has given the family of Lowe-Neddo Funeral Home the privilege of caring for him and for them. Please take a moment to leave a message or share a photo on Willy’s Tribute Wall.
