Information via BYLES-GROTON MEMORIAL HOME

MYSTIC, CT - It is with the greatest sadness the family of William (Willard) Paul Lechausse announces his unexpected passing on Tuesday February 11, 2020 at the young age of 34.

Willard will be eternally loved and remembered by the favorites in his life, his wife of 9 years Kandus, and 1 year-old son Zephyr. William will also be lovingly remembered by his adoring mother Anna Marie Lechausse, father Ralph Ernest Lechausse, favorite sister Christina Chase, grandmother BettyJo Blanksteen and uncles, niece, nephew, special extended family and dear friends. He is predeceased by his grandparents Paul and Helen Vasalonus and Elwood Lechausse.

William was known by many names; Dadda, Willard, Will, Elder Lechausse, Agent Lechausse, Lechuga, Congressmen, Mayor, etc. But it didn’t matter what name he was known by, if you had the honor to have met him, then you know what a sweet, funny, happy, genuine, loving and all around amazing human being this man truly was.

William was full of life, and he lived it to the fullest. He was a proud Eagle Scout whose love for nature and camping was shared with his best friend and partner in crime Kyle Conrad. He made his movie debut as an extra in Indiana Jones 4. His dream of becoming a stunt double fueled his thrill seeking adventures of skydiving, mountain biking, and scuba diving. While William accomplished so much, including receiving his Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice from the University of New Haven and becoming a Federal Border Patrol Agent, if you knew him, you knew that his proudest achievement was his family. He loved them with every ounce of his existence and was not ashamed of telling anyone and everyone of the love he had for his wife and son.

Visitation will take place Wednesday February 26, 2020 from 10:00am to 11:45am with Funeral Service starting at 12 Noon at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 1230 Flanders Road, Mystic CT 06355. A procession will follow to Elm Grove Cemetery in Mystic where Willard will be laid to rest.
