Brian Williams Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 17, 2019.
Brian W. Williams, 42, of Scranton, died Monday morning at home.

Born in Scranton, son of Helene Hirschler Williams and the late Wayne Mark Williams, he graduated from Bishop Hannan High School and attended Penn State University. He was dependable, possessed a solid work ethic, and he drove trucks for a living. To all who met him, Brian was loving, funny and whip-smart. Music spoke to him deeply, so listening to any Grateful Dead tunes, or attending, say, a Phish concert, always made for a perfect day. He thoroughly enjoyed playing with his son and nephews, just a big kid himself. Simply put, he lived for his son, whom he adored and protected and provided for every day of his life.

Also surviving are his son, Camden Williams, and mother, April Pasternak, Clifford Twp.; a brother, Eric Williams and wife, Michele, Wyoming; two sisters, Whitney Zuleski and husband, Clint, West Chester; and Ashleigh Williams, Taylor; nephews, E.J. and Zachary Williams, and Zackary Zuleski; nieces, Morgan Luksic, Chloe and Zoey Zuleski; and many cousins.

The funeral will be Friday at 9:30 a.m. in Holy Rosary Church, 320 William St., Scranton. Friends may call Thursday from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Edward Knight-O'Donnell Funeral Home LLC, 323 William St., Scranton.

Those attending the funeral are kindly asked to proceed directly to the church. Interment, Cathedral Cemetery.

Memorial contributions may be made to Mary, Mother of God Parish at Holy Rosary Church, 316 William St., Scranton, PA 18508.

NeeNee, Eric, April, Camden, Whitney and all the family, There truly are no words to express how sorry I am to hear of the loss of Brian. He was a free spirit who loved deeply and laughed loud and hard. His presence on this earth will be deeply missed but his spirit and memory will live on forever. He will continue to bless our lives with the memories of him and he will always be looking over Camden. I am so sorry I cannot be with you all at this time. My heart is broken. I love you all and everyone is in my thoughts and prayers. Sending much love and many hugs.
