Thomas William “Will” Hatcher, 48, passed away unexpectedly on December 15, 2023. Will was born on July 22, 1975, in Halifax County, Virginia, the son of Jim Hatcher, John Hatcher (dad), and Debra Kallam Hatcher.

Will graduated from Randolph-Henry High School, Class of 1993, worked as a production coordinator at Dupont in Richmond, VA, and enjoyed kayaking and fishing.

My heartfelt condolences to Will’s family and friends. As a classmate, friend, and coworker, he will be fondly remembered. We were just kids working our first jobs at Jerry’s in Drakes Branch and oh the laughs and fun times we shared. I cannot recall ever seeing him without his infectious smile.
