Rev. Max L. Williams Jr.

Max and I were close friends as Residence Hall Directors at Central Michigan University, and he will always stand out in my mind as one of the quickest, most funny, generous, and truly-alive people I will ever know. Don, his wonderful brother (and fellow RHD at CMU) must be completely bereft, as am I. Bless you, Max. May your light forever shine.

I attended Scioto Ridge UMC when Max was the minister there. I have to say he was the best I have ever heard at delivering a memorable message. And what a voice...could he sing and play the piano!
May God be with his family and with everyone he touched while he was here with us.

Max was beloved. We are holding his family in prayers. Gary, Gwyn, Brad and Ben Stetler

Rev. Williams was a dear friend to the Archer family while he pastored in Ottawa, OH. Our love, support and sympathy go out to Zach and Sam in their time of great loss. We will continue to lift your family up in prayer. Larry, Sue, Lucas, and Abby Archer

When I was a young pastor, just starting out, I read an article written by Max finding out that his church, Scioto Ridge UMC, was just 30 minutes from mine. I called him up and asked to meet with him. Over the next year or so he met with me several times, teaching me how to plan ahead on sermon preperation, keeping schedule of my days and other things I was never taught in Seminary. 16 years later, I still do those things. Blessing to Max's family and may he rest in peace.

A man of faith. Had the highest respect from his colleagues such as myself.
Rev Jon K Sayers

I knew Max in high school, he was one of the few that I had alot of respect for.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

He was one of the guys that made it OK for young men to sing in High School. I know he will be missed by many.
