We still miss Toyian in the family and at work. He truly enjoyed both, as well as all of his Birthdays. We remember him today especially this Veterans Day 11-11-14. Barbara and Harold you raised a well mannered young man. He was so polite to the soldiers here at Fort Gordon, God Bless The Mothers that have lost their sons to WAR, protecting our country. This office is not the same since HE said to us "I HATE TO LEAVE YOU, BUT I GOT TO GO" as HE LEFT our office for his promotion to the Business Management Office, never to return. What a Beautiful Person he was and a Beautiful Life he LIVED.

November 7, 2014

I had to revisit your guest book. I had to wish a Happy Birthday to the BEST son that a mother could ever have. This the first birthday that we have not celebrated together. It will be a very tough day for me. I knew you were extra special however during the past four months I have found out just how special you were and your footprint on so many other people's lives. Four months later they are still posting on your face book page. In fact they posted birthday wishes before I could. That's a testament to you and the life you life. Today I have to celebrate this birthday without you. I celebrate a life well lived, the legacy you left behind, and the SON you were to me. I MISS YOUR PHYSICAL PRESENCE. I LOVE YOU. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. YOU WILL FOREVER BE IN MY HEART. YOUR MEMORIES LIVE ON. (I hadn't done this earlier but Harold and I wish to thank all of you for your entries as you shared in our sorrow. God bless each of you.)

Dear Harold,

I just found out this morning that your darling precious son went home to be with our Father God. Although we know he is there with God, it is still painful that he left us so soon. I am deeply pained and sorry for your loss. Just keep looking up to Christ for answers, Harold. Please know that I am praying for you and the family. Please know that I share in your grief.

Wow! I am deeply sadden to have just found out about Toyian. I've known him about 4yrs on Ft Gordon, we worked in the same building, and he was always smiling. I currently work in Kuwait and we had exchanged email addresses last December when i was home in Augusta because he was interested in working overseas. My heart goes out to his parents and family. May GOD be with you and help heal you. I am so hurt, but GOD will give us all strength, so Mr. and Mrs. Williams you were truly blessed to have Toyian. May he rest in peace. Thanks for giving me an opportunity to have met him

Barbara, Harold & Family,
As is obvious from all the other heartfelt messages regarding your very loving baby boy and brother, Toyian--wow!!! It seems as if he went around the world and everybody knew him! I've only known him as a cousin since 2003, yet with each encounter, he had the most gigantic (spiritual) presence I've ever encountered in my life! And believe me, I don't come across this type of presence very often! As I said before y'all--take comfort in knowing u did something right by this very much missed child of yours who is now with God! Toyian was like a sweet reminder that God still does exist! Sadly, lovingly
and forever missed-R.I.P. Toyian!
Your cousins,

Toyian, I know in my heart that you know how much I love you. But I simply can't say it enough. You were the love of my life since I first laid eyes upon you, and for more than 20 years you've held my heart captive. Not being able to laugh with you, hug you, and see that big smile is a pain that I've never known before. You have left behind a multitude of broken hearts and mourning loved ones. And while we all grieve your departure from this world, I sit calling out to you until the next life when we meet again...In perfect peace, pure love, and with an unending bond...I'll love you until the end of time Toyian...- MoBe

One thing I loved about him, besides his amazing smile, was that he loved everyone. It didn't matter who you were. If you showed him and others respect then you were a friend of his. So thank you for raising such a wonderful man that brought so much joy to so many lives. RIP Toyian!!! You will be missed dearly.

Mr. and Mrs. Williams,
I was a friend of Toyians from NAHS. I wanted to let you know that my prayers are with you and the rest of your family. Toyian was such an amazing man. One thing I loved about him, besides that infectious smile and those waves in his hair, was he loved everyone. It didn't matter who you were, what clothes you wore, what color you were, what car you drove, or how much money you had. If you treated him and others with respect he was respectful towards you and very nice. Thank you for raising such a wonderful man that we could all enjoy. I have been extremely sad about this but the good news is I know where he is and I know where I'm going. I get peace from the fact that I will see him again, in a much better place and I can't wait for that day.
Matthew 5:4
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
