Willie Bobby Jenkins-McDaniels, affectionately known as “Brick,” was born on September 1, 1975. Willie believed in taking life “One Day at a Time.”, a quote he often said. He enjoyed playing cards, cooking, listening to music, watching football as a proud Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan and spending quality time with family and friends. He also had a special love for his cowboy hats and boots, which became part of his signature style. Willie was a dedicated entrepreneur and the proud owner of Jenkins Trucking, where he had the privilege of working alongside his near and dear uncles, Lorenzo and Tommy Jenkins. His entrepreneurial spirit extended beyond trucking. Willie also promoted three clubs, creating spaces where people could come together to enjoy music, laughter, fellowship, and good times.
