Condolences to the Willems Family ❤

With heavy hearts, we share that Paul Willems, a co-producer of Mile of Music at its launch in 2013 and during its early years, has died. He died May 14 at Unity Hospice in DePere at the age of 78, ending an 18-month battle with ALS.

Willems was the older brother of Mile of Music creator and curator, Dave Willems. The elder Willems was a critical member of the Mile of Music launch team, committing significant financial and in-kind support both personally and through the company. He continued his support of the festival through the years, helping with a number of what he called “backstage” roles including sponsorship recruitment, logistics and stage management and hosting. His last work at the festival was at Mile 10 in 2023 before his ALS diagnosis in November of that year.

Learn more about Paul and his involvement with Mile of Music here: https://bit.ly/PaulWillems

A memorial gathering with military honors was held on Saturday, June 7. A memorial concert will be scheduled this fall at Gibson Community Music Hall to recognize Willems’ role in Mile of Music and to celebrate his life-long love of rock ‘n’ roll.

Thank you to all who have sent supportive thoughts and messages to the Willems family and Mile Team during this time. 🧡
