Willie was born on July 19, 1960 in Beech Grove, Indiana To Arthur Lee and Norma (Willis) Kelso.
Willie worked at Rotation Product for several years and then moved on to work for Wheatcraft Painting. He really enjoyed painting and even found it relaxing.

Willie served in the Indiana National guard from 1980-1984.
Willie enjoyed fishing, bowling, hanging out with his buddies on the weekends, and spending time with his family whenever he could. He was a big Nascar and Jeff Gordon fan, he even went to Talladega SuperSpeedway. If you knew Willie, you know that he loved being a smartass with his one liners "Your hair looks nice" or even better "Who died and made you boss?" He always told you like it was. He enjoyed drinking his Budweiser beer and "smokin" as he would say.
