Willie James Wooten
Willie James Wooten, a man who loved children and music, died in Sitka on June 25, three days before his 55th birthday.
Willie was born June 28, 1967, in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Joe and Annie Bell Wooten. He was raised in Brooklyn until 1977, when the family moved to Mobile, Alabama.
Willie graduated from W.P. Davidson High School in Mobile, and for the last few years had come to Sitka from Miami, Florida, as a seasonal worker in the fishery industry.
Along with his enjoyment of kids and music, he truly believes in “Yahweh, God of the Israelites,” his family said.
He was preceded in death by his father, Joe Louis Wooten Sr.
He is survived by his mother, Annie Bell Wooten; his son Renwick James (Shantel) Tarleton; grandchildren Isaiah and Skylar Tarleton; sisters Lynne Denise Wooten-Lewis and Trina Kaye Wooten; and brother, Jose Wooten Jr. All are residents of Mobile.
The family plans to hold services in Mobile on July 23.

Sitka Community Hospital board of directors has asked SEARHC to stop providing most health care services to non-beneficiary patients. “During the collaborative process SEARHC has said they’re happy to do anything they can do to help,” said SCH Administrator Bill Patten. “This is one of the things they can do – not provide services to non-beneficiaries.”
