Remembering a Sayulita Local: Will Estes

Will Estes passed away Tuesday, December 19th, 2017 at 7:20pm surrounded by friends at the San Pancho hospital after a battle with terminal cancer. Always a jokester, he never revealed his real age until right before his death, and at just 64 years of age, left us too soon, leaving a hole in the community of Sayulita and the many people he touched.

A private, selfless man who loved reading, he often kept to himself. However, he was also a man who was always there for others. A fountain of wisdom and good advice, he served as an instrumental support system to many. From offering consultation in regards to real estate, management consulting, business planning, and non-profit development, he also enjoyed helping and supporting people he loved in their personal lives. A man who could always be trusted with private matters, he touched more lives than he will ever know.

A man who was part of the core of SayulitAnimals, he loved saving the street animals of Sayulita and the surrounding areas. His dog, and constant companion, Blu, won his heart, and only when he went golfing you would see him without.

His passing has left many sad hearts, although knowing him has left so many of us better for having known him.

Will, you are greatly loved and missed.
