Calvin Williams Obituary
August 26, 1948 - August 31, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Calvin Lee Williams, of Lincoln, who left us on August 31, 2025, at the age of 77. Born on August 26, 1948, in Wakefield, Ohio to James and Myrtle (Conley) Williams, Calvin was a loving, kind, and generous soul who touched the lives of all who knew him.
An avid artist with a passion for drawing, Calvin found joy in creating portraits of people who he admired. He followed all of the Husker sports but his home was still with the Buckeyes. He was a compassionate father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who adored his family above all else. Calvin dedicated his professional life to long-haul truck driving for many years and was also a proud U.S. Marine Sergeant. He served in the Vietnam War as a rifle marksman, and was decorated with the National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign and Service Medals, Combat Action Ribbon, and the Rifle Sharpshooter Badge.
Calvin is survived by daughter, Michele (Leonard) Clark; sons, Ryan (Sallie) Williams and James (Jessica) Williams, all of Lincoln, Neb.; his brothers, Berl Williams, Donald (Amy) Williams, Sam (Janie) Williams, and Ted (Sondra) Williams; nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren; as well as many beloved nieces and nephews.
Preceded in death by his parents, James Milton and Myrtle (Conley) Williams; brothers, James, Roger and Steve Williams; sister, Joyce Rickens; sisters-in-law, Judy Williams and Trudy Williams; son-in-law, George Landolt; and grandson, Geoffrey Landolt.
Graveside services will be held at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, September 9th, 2025, at Omaha National Cemetery, 14250 Schram Rd, Omaha, NE 68138.
Memorials may be directed to the family for future designation.
