William C. "Willie" Pollock of Marlton passed away suddenly on Monday, Jan. 25, 2010. He was 28. He was the victim of an undiagnosed heart dysarrhythmia; two weeks shy of his 29th birthday. 

He was a resident of Marlton since 2005. He was born and raised in Jefferson City, MO.

He was the beloved husband of April L. (Dunn) Pollock; loving son of Carl A. Jr. and Patricia Jo Pollock; dear brother of Dr. Jennifer Schnieders and her husband, Jay, Zach Pollock and his wife, Dr. Ann Pollock and Patrick Pollock; dear uncle of Archer and Dawson Schnieders. He was the loving son-in-law of Anne Dunn and the late Frank Dunn; and brother-in-law of the late Stephen Dunn. Willie also is survived by his beloved dog, Molly.

Willie was employed by URS Corp. as a geologist at Fort Dix, N.J.

Willie could light up a room and could spark up a conversation about anything! He enjoyed hunting with his brothers, uncles and cousins. Family was the most important part of the fabric of Willie's life.

Friends have created a memorial page with the SADS foundation: http://www.sads.org/memorial-pages/Pollock.html

Thank you for joining our campaign to save lives by raising money to continue patient family support and SADS education programs. Several thousand young people die unnecessarily each year from SADS (Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes) in the United States, and education is the answer.

Funds raised through the Climb to Conquer SADS will:

 

• Provide Family Support to assist patients and their families in making informed medical decisions and living with the challenges of these conditions
• Increase General Awareness of Warning Signs to recognize and prevent heart rhythm abnormalities
• Educate Health Care Professionals in early diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm abnormalities
• Be Advocates to increase arrhythmia research and improve the quality of life for patients and their families.
