Steven R. Williams

Steven R. Williams (59) of New Smyrna Beach, Florida passed peacefully on Thursday, June 19, 2025, at his home with his loving mother and two sisters by his side. Steven was born in Findlay, Ohio in 1966 to Rand Williams and Dee Williams. The family moved to Wausau, Wisconsin in 1969. He attended Wausau schools until he moved to Florida where he graduated from Daytona Community College with a bachelor's degree in business administration, Supervision and Management. Steven also completed Culinary Arts training and became known as "Chef Boyar Steve" who delighted in preparing and presenting mouth water delights of magic as a language of love. As a successful entrepreneur, Steven approached business with creative enthusiasm, energy and utmost professionalism. He had a "do-your-best-always" positive spirit and saw a successful path with his creativity. Steven brought landscaping, pool design and building, in both Colorado and Florida to a new and exciting level of design. Steven focused on promoting service industry businesses and demanded the best. His latest endeavor was fiber milling where he blended alpaca and sheep fibers while designing distinctive and unique yarns which were shipped nationwide. Steven traveled internationally. He told the best stories from those travels. Often bringing wit, humor and a light heart to any situation. Steven always did his best to acknowledge and encourage others to "do better" and "be amazing". Steven is preceded in death by his father Rand Williams, his maternal Aunt Sara Welch and both his Thauburn and Williams Grandparents. Over the years, Steven's furry, faithful and devoted canine companions Carly, Jake and most recently, Duke, the Labrador, all quickly became Steven's shadows and never let him get too far from their sight. Steven is survived by his loving fiancé Jorge Armando Mena Domínguez, Mother Dee and stepfather Dan Erlandson, his devoted sisters Lisa Williams Larrivee (Rick) and Sara Williams Riley (TW), his cherished nieces Chrissy, Megan, Jamie, Catherine, nephew Shawn and great nephew Brock. Steven will be missed profoundly by family and friends. Those who love you will miss you, Steven. Love never leaves.
