I only had the opportunity to meet Daryl in this last year of his life, but he made a tremendous impact on me with his amazingly positive attitude, his smile, his dedication to serving others and his love of Jesus Christ. I mourn losing him in this season of life, but I KNOW that he is now healed and in paradise with his savior. I look forward to seeing you again, brother, and you are loved and missed.

So sorry for your loss.

Obituary

Daryl's Obituary

Williams, Daryl Ramon passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family after his battle with cancer. Monday November 10, 2025 at the age of 51.  Beloved husband of 27 years of Tonya Williams; loving father of Samauri (James Jr.) Owens and Brycen Williams; grandfather of Dakota Owens; son of Leotis Williams and the late Laura Jean Williams; step-son of Elizabeth Hill-Williams; brother of Randall Williams, Tracy Hill, Deborah Williams, Collette Williams, Floyd Hill, Zina (Randy) Bush, Pamela Clark, Jason Williams and Kameron Sharpe; son-in-law Rose (Michael) Allen; brother-in-law of Melissa (Tracy) Kaminskey and Christopher (Laura) Allen; special brother of Tony (Sarah) Woodard, Brian Woodard and Jacqeline Woodard; loving uncle, great-uncle, cousin and friend to many.

Daryl refused to live life quietly. Anyone who met D knew he was impossible to ignore. He talked to everyone, made friends everywhere he went, and somehow made each person feel like his favorite. He loved attention, loved expensive and eccentric things, and never did anything halfway. I often told him that he did “too much,” and he proudly accepted that — never basic, never boring, always uniquely him. He had the loudest voice in every debate, he was opinionated, and proud of it. He would argue about anything and everything, but that was just his way of showing how deeply he cared. D gave advice whether you asked for it or not. He told the truth, even when it stung, because he wanted the people he loved to do better, live bigger, and stand up for themselves. He was stubborn and hard-headed, playful, generous, and full of life. He could make you laugh even when you wanted to stay mad at him. His presence filled every room, and his absence is felt just as deeply.

The family would like to thank Dr. Getinet Ayalew, Dr. Jordan J. Atkins, Three Oaks Hospice, nurses Jessie and Cierra.
