“Jason and I made a very selfless decision tonight to stop the suffering.”
Describing her son beyond his diagnosis, she shared memories of his personality and strength. “Will was the funniest person in the room,” she said.
“Will had a personality that could light up a hospital floor. Will loved hard, fought harder, and never stopped believing there was another mountain to climb.”
She reflected on the broader impact of her son's journey.
“I have said from the beginning that God was going to use Will's life for His glory,” Brittney Roberts said.
“We have watched churches across the country pray for a child they had never met.
We have watched people come back to God, strengthen their faith, and believe in the power of prayer because of Will.”
She emphasized her son's endurance. “No child should have had to endure what Will endured,” she wrote.
“Yet every single day, Will found a reason to smile, crack a joke, encourage someone else, or remind us all what real strength looked like.
Will never quit. Neither did we.”

During his public appeal for experimental treatment, Will Roberts had shared his perspective.
“My mom’s found this drug that could possibly save my life if we get it in time,” he said.
“And chances are, this is probably the end of the road for me, and they probably won’t get it in time.
But if this can help other kids with my cancer, I would love to help in any way I can.”
