David A. Williams

Beth, I'm so sad to read about Dave. You were blessed to have your life partner for a long time. I'm thinking of you. Love, Susan Lupo

Growing up in Flagstaff with Dave and Beth as my second set of parents was such an honor.

They were role models to follow, held me to the same standards as their own children, extended their love and made me very much a part of the family.

Dave helped shaped my life and will be greatly missed. Thoughts and prayers to the entire Williams family. Ken Carnes

My sympathy , Love and Prayers. My heart hurts for you, Beth , but my soul rejoices, in knowing that he is at home with our LORD for all eternity.

Hi, Beth and Williams Family! It´s Mary (Vasquez) Powell & Kent Powell. Saw the obituary on Dave and it made us sad! He was a wonderful friend and what an amazing educator and leader! He sure helped to shape our careers in education and here in Flagstaff! It was a true pleasure to have worked with him and so appreciated his guidance! Loved your wonderful kids and you, Beth!
Our sympathy is with you at this tough time! We so need leaders like he was! God bless you all! Mary and Kent

God´s Grace blessed this world with a man of faith, I am so thankful to have been his twin brother. Thank you for Lord the blessing of his life.

A good man. Thank you for your years of service to the Flagstaff community.

Our deepest sympathies to Beth and family. We both worked with David at the Flagstaff Public Schools. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I worked under Dr. WIlliams while at the School of Hotel and Restaurant Managment in the 90s. He was the Dean of the College, I was an advisor.

I came into his office early duringhis tenure there, introduced myself and then let him know that I was on my way to a treatment center for eating disorders the following week. What he said to me still moves me- without knowing much about me or my journey, he said one word: 'congratulations.' If that was not enough, the day before I left for Sierra Tucson, he handed me a sealed envelope and asked me to open it when I found myself alone. I do not remember what he said- but I do remember how he made me feel: seen. I have never forgotten his kindness and deep humanity. Rest in Peace, Dr. Williams.

He was a very good person and a good friend of my parents Don and Betty Dugan

Dear Beth and family,
My heartfelt condolences on David´s passing. He was an amazing educator, leader, and servant in all areas of his life. I know you will miss him greatly. God bless, Carol Nix (Beth´s former NAU Human Resources colleague).

What a great educational leader Dave was. I had the pleasure of working under his guidance when he was Superintendent of Flagstaff Schools, and later when he was Dean of Education at NAU. Always kind, fair, and thoughtful. Tony Armenta

Hello Beth - I am so sorry to hear of David's passing He was a great educator, and I considered him to be a friend. Thinking of you and sending prayers. Patty

Loved our trip to Cabo and getting to watch Pops and Uncle David laugh and joke with each other, and just hang out as brothers. They were always smiling when they were together:)

Dave will be missed by all of up here at Lees Ferry
