Willie B. Fielder, a star running back at Weatherford High School, homecoming king and a tenor soloist in his church choir, died Wednesday afternoon, two days after he was injured in a collision in Weatherford.

His family donated the 17-year-old's organs for transplant, a family spokesman said.

Fielder was pronounced dead at 3:45 p.m. at John Peter Smith Hospital, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner's office.

"It's been a nightmare," said Mike Sneed, the former Weatherford football coach who was at the hospital Wednesday.

"Willie was one of those kids that everybody liked, not just kids who played sports. He transcended all socioeconomics and race. Everyone just thought a lot of him."

Doug Jefferson, the youth minister and choir director at New Hope Baptist Church in Weatherford, said the church prayed for Fielder's family at Wednesday's service. Friends and classmates gathered at Weatherford High School on Wednesday night for a similar memorial, family friends said.

The collision occurred about 3 p.m. Monday at the intersection of South Main Street and Cleburne Avenue in Weatherford. Fielder, who was on his way to track practice, was turning north in his 1997 Dodge Avenger. A southbound Chevrolet pickup hit the driver's door, police said.

The 46-year-old pickup driver was not injured. After police complete their investigation, charges may be filed, said Lt. Bryan Wright, a Weatherford police spokesman. Investigators are trying to locate a silver vehicle that witnesses said was involved in the wreck, Wright said.

Fielder, nicknamed "B.B.," had just finished his senior football season for the Kangaroos. He was named Offensive MVP for District 4-5A and led the area in 5A rushing with 1,327 yards, despite missing two games with an injury. He scored 17 touchdowns.

He had an offer to play at Cisco Junior College, Sneed said.

He planned to spend a year playing football at a junior college before transferring to a Division I school, said Jeff Brazzell, his cousin and a summer youth track coach.

"The Aggies showed interest in him," Brazzell said. "His father and I were going to do what we could or what was necessary to get him to the next level," whether junior college or Division I.

Brazzell said Fielder was planning to become a football coach. During the two games he was injured, "he was giving the running backs who took his place information," Brazzell said. "He was telling them what hole to hit. He was coaching on the sidelines."

Fielder was a big hit in the Pee Wee ranks, where he visited with budding running backs, said his uncle, Bobby Fielder.

"He would go and talk to the running backs about being a sportsman," he said.

He also ran the 200-meter and 400-meter races and the mile relay in track, Brazzell said. Fielder was chosen homecoming king in 2006. At church, he was known for his strong tenor voice.

"He sang solo last year, and he was practicing to do it again before the accident," Jefferson said. "He had an excellent voice. You could hear him sing over all the tenors. He put the same effort into singing that he did to football -- 110 percent."

His parents, Willie and Josepha Fielder of Weatherford, have two daughters, Courtney, 23, and Ashley, 19, and a younger son, Chris, who is a sophomore at Weatherford High, Brazzell said.

The Weatherford Youth Association has established a fund for the family at Weatherford National Bank, a bank spokeswoman said. Sneed said students are going around town raising money for the fund, and Durant Chevrolet has made a donation. Funeral arrangements were not complete Wednesday night.
