    Will just had this ability to walk into a room and light it up.
    — Jennifer Herrera, longtime friend

    Sigua was homecoming king in high school. In a letter home to his good friend Jennifer Herrera, who was homecoming queen the same year, he wrote about an Iraqi girl who had flirted with him, joking that perhaps "I can win this war with good looks and charm."
