VanLee Williamson Obituary

Van Lee Williamson

Brandon - Van Lee Williamson was born at Woman's Hospital in Flowood, MS on August 1, 2020 and had already entered the loving arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He was the cherished third child of Lee and Chelsey Williamson, and little brother to Waverly and Vail. His parents are grateful for the brief moment they were given with him and cling to God's promise of one day being reunited in Heaven.

In addition to his parents and siblings, Van is survived by: his grandparents, David and Polly Williamson, and Brian and Aryne Jordan; great-grandparents, Bill and Eleanor Hall, and Roy Thorton; aunts and uncles, Clay and Amanda Foster, Riley and Lindsay Kurtts, and Julianne Jordan; cousins, Sawyer Powell and Gates Foster; as well as countless family members and friends who will hold Van's memory in their hearts forever.

A private service will be held for family on Friday, August 7th at Parkway Memorial Cemetery in Ridgeland, MS. Donations made in lieu of flowers will be used to honor Van and can be sent to the American Diabetes Association.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I'm so sorry to hear about your sweet angel. I know what you are going through because I've been there. My first born and my second baby both died so I know the heartache that you and your family are going through. People will tell you that it gets better and it does because life causes you to get busy until that Birthday comes around and you will celebrate it in your heart. A day won't go by that you won't think about him but the pain will get easier especially having other children around to love and cherish. Since I'm older now with grandkids I know that it won't be long till I will hold them again and I held on to that all these years and you have that promise from Jesus that you too will be with him. God will give you what you need to get through this. Trust me. He has gotten me through this and so much more. My heart breaks for you but I will pray for you often. May God bless you and your family. He will not leave you nor forsake you. I promise.
You come from a good family that will be by your side every step of the way. Cherish them.
