My brother, Willie Vega committed suicide on February 27th, 2012 at around 8:30pm.
Nobody can know what could have gone through his mind to end his life as he did, but no matter what, he will be missed.
Willie was a tremendously talented guitar player. He was a smart and funny guy who had a huge heart, hidden underneath all that black garb. He was kind and protective of his family and friends. I am going to really miss him.
Willie leaves behind a family that loved him, and many, many loving friends. If you knew Willie and want to leave a personal tribute, you can do so on his Facebook page here:

Willie: I wish that your life could have given you the purpose you needed to shine and be happy. We will never know what you could have accomplished.
I will miss you, as will your brothers, mom, grandma and especially Violet. You made a huge impact on Violet’s life and she will remember you all the way till she’s an old lady.
Love,
Andy
I’m sitting here listening to all of his YouTube videos. Life will never be the same & I will miss him forever.

I want to add that Willie had a father who loved him. I am his father. I feel an intense pain every day since I learned of my son’s death. I wish that he is in a better place.
A place where families are more united and away from malevolence forces that pray on division.
Willie will always live in my heart. God bless you my son.
Willie I always admired and liked you. I hope your at peace. We will see each other again.
My condolences to your family.

I just learned about Willie today. It’s been many years since I spoke to him, but I have fond memories of playing music with him back in the Miami days. Willie played guitar and I played drums in his cousin Peter’s band. We hung out together in the Miami scene and had many laughs together. What an incredible talent he was. This is a sad day for me. Willie was a one of a kind.
I just came across some of Willie’s videos, and was bookmarking favorites to share with my 14 yr old son – and read about his story. My biggest condolences to all of you for your loss, and gratitude for his generous gift of music that continues on in this world.
