Hello,
We apologize for being so late in expressing our deepest condolences to you and your family. We want you to know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this holiday season and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo, service branch, rank and hometown of Jeffrey Allen Williams US Army Corporal.
We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families, friends and others who support our mission.
We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

Jeff,
I remember seeing you for what seemed like everyday until you enlisted... And when you made your way home to see Stacy I got to see you one last time. I am so grateful for that last visit because we had a blast. I miss you all the time...I am so grateful for your unselfish act of being a soldier but right now my selfishness wants you here. I know the lord has you in his hands and you are at peace. But please know that I miss you and will always hold you close to my heart. * Fallen but not forgotten*

Prayer Shawls 4 Fallen Soldiers ([email protected]) is an organization with groups throughout the country who strive to send handmade prayer shawls and/ or lap robes to families who have lost a loved one in service to our country. Members of Trindle Spring Lutheran Church in Mechanicsburg, PA would like to honor your son’s sacrifice and memory by sending our prayers and comfort through a shawl which we will mail to you. If you are interested, please contact me at [email protected] with the names and addresses and what they would like to receive. We will send them as soon as possible. Also, if you know of any other families who are grieving the loss of a loved one who died serving our country, please pass along my e-mail address, as our organization can no longer get family contacts through the military. May God bless you and comfort you in the days ahead. Sincerely, Lynne

Son,
Five years have passed. Yesterday, when your Dad, Grandmother and myself placed your favorite red roses on your grave, I could only see your smile and hear your laughter. Continue to rest, when called, we will meet again. Bojo and Glennebracey texted and called. Your brother Elbert came to visited. When I looked at him and Jerren, I saw you. The Williams Family all remember this day and we had a good celebration. We are on our way back to Arkansas, then back to home in Texas. Rest my Son.
Love Ya

Will,
You are truely missed. I have never forgotten you for you are always in my heart and thoughts. Whenever I begin to box you are always in my thoughts: " Keep your hands up". I regret not coming by the med station to practice with you more often. I remember the day so clearly.You came back to say bye and that you would see me when you returned to the FOB, you were excited to be going out.I wish I could go back in time. But you are in a better place with our father in heaven. May you rest peacefully.

To the family of Cpl Jeffrey Williams...
I never met your son, however, I was the one who filmed and produced the DVD I'm sure you have of his memorial service at FOB Sykes a couple of weeks after he died. I was in a Public Affairs Detachment at the time and the NCOIC of our broadcast section. We were tasked with shooting video of memorials given for fallen soldiers in the Mosul area during our year there in 2005, as a lasting tribute to the fallen, and made two DVD's, one for the family and one for the unit. As the NCOIC, I would usually task this job out, since I produced another video product which took a lot of our time, and had other supervisor responsibilities. When I came back to Iraq after going home on leave on Sept 10th, 05, I had no idea I would be doing this DVD. A few days later I flew out to Tall Afar with another unit member to gather stories over a 4 day period and to shoot a memorial...my first and only memorial I shot in Iraq. The memorial of your son. The ceremony was very moving, it was hard to keep my composure when I was getting footage. Seeing his fellow soldiers breaking down was tough. To compound this, when I took the footage back to edit it, I would watch it over and over to make sure it was done to our standards, something editors must do. I chose the songs from a playlist we used for memorials. I absolutely could not get through watching it without breaking down. When I had my OIC watch it for content, he too broke down. He said, "if you can bring someone to that emotional level, you know you have done a good job."
The reason I am writing now is because we have an alert order to return to Iraq in 2010, and it got me to thinking about specific moments that left an indelible memory with me from my year there. Your son's memorial was one of them. While I know it may be sad to watch it, I wanted you to know that making his memorial will stay with me the rest of my days, and, as a fellow soldier, I am proud to have given you a lasting tribute to your son's life from a soldier's perspective.
God bless...

Jeffrey, We still miss you all the time but today we wanted to give a special remebrance for you on what would have been your 24th birthday. You touched so many lives and we are grateful for the time you spent as part of our life. I always go specifically to your pictures whenever I am at Diana's house and say a silent prayer for you. Although Diana always celebrate your life and memories, she still misses you so. CJ is getting so big and grown up. He actually got his drivers permit. You would be very proud of him as he has always been of you. We love you Jeffrey and take comfort in your peace.

Dear Family of Cpl. Jeffrey A. Williams,
We want to say thank you. We understand that no words can be adequate for your sorrow. We certainly do not want to intrude upon your privacy. As Americans we want you to know that we deeply appreciate the ultimate sacrifice your loved one has made for all of us. We also would like for you to be aware that with this letter comes our special concern and prayers for you. We are all safer because young men and women who love their country, and know the value of a free nation, are willing to put themselves in harms way, and lay down their lives to keep this nation free and safe for all of us.
Your sacrifice is also very great. We know that we can give little comfort; however, the knowledge that your loved one did not die in vain, but died in the service of our country, gives each of us a noble example of the value of life, and the responsibility of freedom. We hope this will bring pride and comfort to you.
We at Gethsemane Church believe that there is purpose to life. We send this letter with our deepest appreciation for the greatest of sacrifices, you and your loved one have given to this country. We know it is not enough, but please allow us to assure you that your loved one is not forgotten.
Very Sincerely
Frank G. Noyes

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Jeffrey, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

I did not know Jeffrey, but I grew up in Warrenville my whole life, and I am honored to share my hometown with such a hero. Recently this past summer, my husbands step brother Phillip Brodnick was killed in a Helicopter crash in Iraq. Losing someone that way is the hardest to understand. I will always be thinking of your family whenever I think of Phil. I thank you from the bottom of my heart Cpl. Jeffrey A Williams...as we say with Phil, "heaven was needing a hero". May God bless you.

MY Beloved Son
You have been gone two years and it seems like it was just yesterday. It has been a hard two years, but God is working with us. He is slowly drying our tears away. I still heard your voice and feel your presence. I am so proud of you for the things that you have achieved before and after your life ended on this earth. Sgt. Taylor has done great things in your honor, the CD is awesome, especially the song that was dedicated to the both of us. I was informed on 09/05/07 that they were preparing to name the post office in your name. It seems like every month someone is calling to put your name for some special honor. I am so proud of myself that I raised such a wonderful son. Jermaine is progressing to the 5th rank, so he is finally at your level. Jerren is preparing for the Air Force, next year. Stacey has graduated from college and still progessing in life. The 3ACR is heading back to Iraq, I will keep them in prayers. Thanks Jeff for doing such an awesome job in trying to save the world. May God continues to bless and protect both of my family and our military family. I hope everyone had a great celebration on 09/05/07 for it was truly a day of celebrations. RIP my son.

Yesterday, was a blessed day, I thought of Jeff every moment. It has been two years since you left this earth, but you will always remains in our hearts. I received several calls from everyone making sure that I was fine. Stacey had a hard day, but I told her to remember all the good times and she started to laugh. Jerren states that he was not going to have a bad day, he was celebrating. Grandmom and Granddad states that he will be missed, but to have a joyous day. Aron and I sitted by the pool listening to some of your favorite CDs. I will continues to refreshed my thoughts that God's does not make any mistakes and your job was completed. Every day I think of my son, but I know he is in a better place. How blessed I am that my son is in Heaven watching down on all of us. God is working with me and slowly he is drying my tears away. Please keep our family in prayers. Continued to pray for the 3ACR Med Troop as they headed back to Iraq. They all know that Will is their guardian angel. Here is an statement by SPC. Jolene Lake at his memorial service in Fort Carson in 2006:
BUT THE JUST MAN, THOUGH HE DIE EARLY, SHALL BE AT REST, FOR THE AGE THAT IS HONORABLE COMES NOT WITH THE PASSING OF TIME, NOR CAN IT BE MEASURED IN TERMS OF YEARS. RATHER, UNDERSTANDING IS THE HOARY CROWN FOR MEN, AND AN UNSULLIED LIFE, THE ATTAINED OF OLD AGE. HE WHO PLEASED GOD WAS LOVED; HE WHO LIVED AMONG SINNERS WAS TRANSPORTED--SNATCHED AWAY, LEST WICKEDNESS PERVERT HIS MIND OR DECEIT BEGUILE SOUL; FOR THE WITCHERY OF PALTRY THINGS OBSCURES WHAT IS RIGHT AND THE WHIRL OF DESIRE TRANSFORMS THE INNOCENT MIND. HAVING BECOME PERFECT IN A SHORT WHILE, HE REACHED THE FULLNESS OF A LONG CAREER; FOR HIS SOUL WAS PLEASING TO THE LORD, THEREFORE HE SPED HIM OUT OF THE MIDST OF WICKEDNESS. BUT THE PEOPLE SAW AND DID NOT UNDERSTAND, NOR DID THEY TAKE THIS INTO ACCOUNT. BECAUSE GRACE AND MERCY ARE WITH HIS HOLY ONES, AND HIS CARE IS WITH HIS ELECT.
RIP- My son.

This summer in Florida we had everyone here- your sister,brothers,nieces &nephew aunts,uncle, etc.... and it was great but my heart still broke eveyday becuase everywhere we went I had been there with you first, and I remember all the thing that you said... from when you were 9 and told me you were going to bring you first date to the Sawgrass Mall; to when you were 19 and we were on Ft.Lauderdale beach and you wanted to bring Stacy back so that she could see how beautiful it was...I miss you so much...
August 14, 2007
There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

I just want to let you know that I love you. I never got to say it to you before you pasted away and that hurts me every time I think about it. I only met you once in my life, and it was one of the best moments I will ever have. I remember it like it was yesterday, you and Dennis Jr. had me waiting for about 30 min, but I didn't care. I had been waiting almost my whole life to meet my older brothers. I wish we could have spent more time together, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. Love Madyson, your sister

Thank you Lord, for bringing both of my brothers into existence because they've been there for me in the tough times and through some of my down falls. Jeffrey, you were my older brother the one who taught me along the way, the one who I leaned on when I was depressed, the one who looked out for me, the one who inspired me to be better than himself, the one who understood that I was much more different than the average dude out in the world, the one I called my guardian. Jerren, you are my younger brother the one who taught me to help others, the one who showed me jealousy would get me nowhere, the one who I look to now as my back up, the one who I called my true and best friend. Though life is very tumultuous, everyone has to overcome each and every barrier set forth to hold each individual back. So before, I found out Jeff was dead I knew he had a greater purpose in which he was needed to help out with. But even though he is no londer with us, I don't let that hold me back because the Lord told me that he was needed back above. And even though I cried when I first heard of the tragedy that occured, the Lord told Jeff to let me know not to cry after that moment because he was turning over his responsibilities in the lifetime to me. And that I was the main person who would help strengthen and reunite my family. So to my family, both near and far I'm here for you and I love you and pray that everyone is alright. Jeff has always been an inspiration for all and has left a legacy that no one could ever beat. So, don't harp on this tragedy look to the Lord for all of your needs, not wants because the Lord sees you all the time and will continually bless you with your wants when he feels it necessary. Lord, my life is in your hands and with Jesus I can make it with him I know I can stand, no matter what may come my way my life is in your hands, my life is in your hands. Jerren, I love you and wish that you will always exceed both Jeff's and my own preceedings; I expect you to be the top dog and always on top of your game and don't let anyone or anything hold you back.

My son, Jeffrey you are very well missed. Tomorrow will be a year since we laid you to rest in Fort Leavenworth. I love you and I will see you in heaven.

For My Beloved Nephew:
May you find peace in the Lord's hands. To my Sister Sandee and family, it's hard to believe that a year has already gone by. I see that you have strengthened. I know that this had been the hardest journey of your life, but as you reflect back on all the entries, give yourself a pat on the back for raising a great-kid who evolved into an even greater-man. Just look at the impact that he has had on ALL of us. Don't we all wish that we can leave such a legacy. Jeffrey, I LOVE U, and I always will. Rest In Peace!!! Love Aunt Sharon

Sandee, Aron & Family,
It is so hard to believe that it has been a year since Jeffrey was laid to rest. When Kelvin returned home from the funeral services, he brought home one of the programs (one of the most beautiful that I've ever seen). Well, it touched our oldest son Kevin (now 22 years old) so deeply that he took a copy of the program and had the photo transfered onto an extra-heavy cotton T-shirt. As the weeks and months began to pass, our youngest son Andre (now 10 years old) asked for the exact same T-shirt on his Christmas wish-list. Well, needless to say, his big brother Kevin made sure he got his wish. So, there hasn't been a week that has gone by that your family hasn't been in our prayers primarily because of those shirts. Andre didn't remember Jeffrey, but even he prays for your family often. So, as we do with all difficult things in our lives -- we give them to the Lord because he is the ONLY one that can truly heal the broken heart from the loss of a loved one. AND FINALLY TO YOU, CORP. JEFFREY ALLEN WILLIAMS, MAY YOUR SOUL CONTINUE TO REST IN PEACE (RIP) AND KNOW THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED AND MISSED GREATLY BY A HOST OF FAMILY & FRIENDS ... //EOF (9/6/06)

There are no words that can express how much I love and miss you. You were such a great person and I just knew you would live on to make the family proud. You did, just not in the way we it expected it to happen. It's in these moments that we have to realize that God knows best and while we may have seen a great future for you here, He saw a better future for you with Him. This really has been a year. In the beginning, your victory brought us closer together as a family, but now we have somehow forgot how important those ties are. I pray everyday that we remember what motivated us then so we may draw together once more before God calls another one of us home. Knowing how much you loved each and everyone of us, I know that you are interceding for our family in this regard. Thank you. Thank you for being the young man you were, for inspiring us to appreciate everyday we have with one another, for watching over us daily, for touching so many lives, for encouraging me to never give up on people, and for always encouraging me to pursue my own dreams and happiness. Love Always, Cuz!

To lose such a great friend is probably one of the hardest things that I have delt with ever. J-Will was my best friend and my boxing partner. May you rest in peace J-Will and I know that you are looking down on all of us. You were my best friend and now you are my Guardian Angel. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. I know that you always got my back and in return I will be with your family and look after them till the day I take my last breath. Thats my word. You are loved and missed by so many people. I know one day we will meet again in the kingdom of Heaven, and we will dance in the ring once again. Till then my friend keep yo hands up and be sure and practice cause my right will hurt you. I love you J-Will. Be easy baby.

Jeff was my future. We argued like we were already married. He was my first true love, and the one who made me believe in heros. It's been a long hard year, but everyone has been so great to the point where all I can say is thank you. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of Jeff and wish he was here to talk me through the hard times, but I keep telling myself that he's still here with me in all that I do. I just hope he knows how much he's missed and loved.

It has been one year, since my son has went on to Heaven. It has been a hard year, but God has been good. I went up to Fort Leavenworth, yesterday to place flowers on my baby's grave. It was the hardest thing in the world to buried my son. At this time I would like to thank The U.S Army, Navy, Marine and Air Force. You guys are awesome thanks for all the prayers, love and hugs. I especially was to thank the 3ACR Med Support Troop stationed at Fort Carson, Fort Hood and Fort Sam Houston. My love and kisses goes out to my husband (Aron) and my sons (Jermaine, Jerren and LeSean and the my new sons Elbert Jr., Sgt. Taylor, Sgt. Herring, Spec. Howell and Spec. Bojo) also Stacey (heaven-sent daughter) even though you did not become my daughter-in-law I just want you to know that you will always be our daughter and recognize in this family. Mom and Dad (Tim & Eatha Wms) you guys are #1. Madyson (Jeff's sister) thanks for understanding and being there for us. Hang in there and I will continue to keep you in prayer. All of my family and friends thanks for keeping me and my family in prayer. Thanks to all the churches (Cornerstone Baptist-Arlington, TX, Main Baptist-Aurora, IL, 1st Baptist of Glenarden- Glenardern, MD, Oak Ridge Missionary Baptist- Kansas City, KS, St. Matthew #3 Baptist-Blackwell, AR and Pilgrim Rest Baptist-Happy Bend, AR. Wheaton/Warrenville South High School thanks for everything. Thanks to the following cities: Wheaton, Warrenville and Chicago, IL, Kansas City, KS & MO and Blackwell, Atkins and Happy Bend, AR. It is time for us to let Jeff/Will rest in peace. Please keep us in prayer.

ALL Americans should take a minute on Independence Day to thank the brave heroes that have made the ultimate sacrifice to provide the Independence we all share. Although I did not personally know Jeffrey Williams I feel the loss of this great American hero.
God Bless Jeffrey Williams and his family. God Bless the Support Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment. God Bless the United States Army. Most of all, God Bless America.

A fine young man whos impact on the lives of his fellow medics and troopers was echoed through the stories and the celebration of his life. Although his time on earth was cut short, his time in each of us will live forever through his simile and his unwaivering courage. God bless his family and may our prayers and the grace of God help to mend your hearts.

To the family of Corporal Jeff Williams, my deepest condolences for the loss of such a great man. Jeff was a friend whom I loved to talk boxing with in Iraq, even though we could never settle our argument of who could whip who, Bruce Lee or Muhammed Ali. We'll continue the argument one day in a much better place. I miss you little brother.

I think about Jeff every day. As a leader, he was my first subordinate. Jeff had several endearing qualities that made him a joy to work with. First of all, he had a great sense of humor. Next would have to be his ability to keep his head up even in the worst of times. It was tough to see a fellow Soldier with such potential pass on. As a fellow Christian, I realize that he is in a better place. I visualize him smiling and dancing as we all saw him do at times when he was in his element. I personally will never forget you Will. Until we me again my friend.

Being in the same company as Corp. Williams, not only though basic training at Fort Benning,and AIT at Fort Sam Houston, but also roommates with him while we were both assigned to the 3ACR at Fort Carson, and then deploying together to Iraq, I can honestly say that it was an honor to not only serve with Williams, but to know him as my friend. He was a great person and he will never be forgetten.
