Dan Williams Obituary
BELLEFONTAINE – Our husband, dad and grandpa, Dan L. Williams, went home to be with his heavenly Father on Monday evening, May 19, 2014, at 9:30 p.m. with family and friends singing praise and worship songs to him and the final reading of Psalms 23rd and Mathew 28. Love you, see you someday in heaven.
Dan was born on July 1, 1941 in Logan County, Ohio to the late William McKinley and Esta Louise (Detwiler) Williams.
On August 7, 1959 in Harper, Ohio he married the former Dorothy "Bea" Helzer and she survives in West Liberty. Also surviving are their children, Tammy (Don) Moore of West Liberty and their children, Caleb (Sarah) Moore, Kelsi (Levi) Murphy and Isaac Moore and three grandchildren, Joe (Sandy) Williams of Bellefontaine and their children, Lisa Williams and Kyle (Barbie) Williams and four grandchildren, and Steve Williams of Marble, NC, and his daughter, Haleigh Williams, a sister, Esther Stokes of West Mansfield, a brother, Jerry (Kay) Williams of Oviedo, FL, and a sister-in-law, Averil Williams of Indianapolis.
He is preceded in death by a sister, Mary Ann Williams; his brothers, Donny, Paul "Sock" and Bobby Gene Williams; and a brother-in-law, Raymond Stokes.
A self-employed floor mechanic, Dan previously worked for Notestine Floor Covering and Fissels.
He was a member of Grace Chapel Church and served as Elder, Deacon and taught Sunday school. He also had men's Bible study in his home. A member of the Zoning Board for Liberty Township he enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening and flowers. His most precious joy was his grandchildren.
Pastor Josh Gelatt will officiate a 10:30 am service on Saturday, May 24, 2014 at Grace Chapel Church, West Liberty, where family will receive friends one hour prior to the service.

Sending loving thoughts and prayers to your family during this time. We were unable to attend the service. We have been friends with Steve for many years. Hold on to all of your wonderful memories. We didn't know Dan but we have enjoyed what Steve has shared about him through the years. Peace and love to all of you. Kyle and Pam Evilsizer
