Eric Sean Williams MD, FACC, FHRS

Facebook offered me an old photo from my stay at Summer School in Cambridge, England in 1998. I look at the photo and remember Eric Williams, whom I met there and whom we saw later when I was studying in the US and when I returned to the Czech Republic. He visited me in Seattle, I visited him twice in New York, and he also took me to visit Boston at Harvard, where he studied medicine. I was also visiting his family in Brooklyn and we wrote for a long time. Then he moved, got married and lived in Costa Rica, then he was a doctor in Seattle, San Francisco and many other places, but we lost touch because his harvard email stopped working and i did not have any other. He was a very busy as a doctor, a cardiologist, he was still in education and did not use any social media and the writing of letters somehow did not lasted.
Today - when I saw this photo, I googled his name and found out that he died during covid period. It is a shock and sad news for me. He was a wonderful person and a wonderful empathetic doctor. Such a shame. I feel sad.

As a patient of Dr Williams at the time of his death, I truly miss him. I still have the loop recorder in my chest he put in 2019. R.I.P. Doc!

I´m 36 years old now,we had complications in my surgery. He saved my life that day. Then came to the hospital the next day when he wasn´t scheduled to check on me. Thank you,this news saddens me deeply as I heard today before I got the same surgery.

Thank you for everything!!

On Saturdays I loved seeing Zora and her dad, Eric, stop by the University City Public Library for our weekly chats ever since Zora was just a baby. Eric was tall and when he would hold her near his face they looked just alike to me....so much so I started calling her "Minnie" as in "Minnie Me". When she started talking she would then say "Minnie" when she saw me. It was hilarious. I will miss those weekly chats with Eric greatly, but I am sure I will continue them with Zora and mom, Hedy. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Just from the few minutes I got to see him at a time, it struck me that Dr. Williams was an amazing human being.

I was so sorry and shocked to just hear of Dr. Williams´s passing, by letter 12/15/20 received from Mercy. He was my Cardiologist as a matter of fact, he implanted a loop recorder in me- and it´s still in!! He was such a kind and caring man, I´m really going to miss him. He reminded me so much of my only child- my 59 year old son!! My prayers and condolences to the family and May Doc R.I. P.

I just learned of Dr Williams passing today through a call from Mercy Heart Hospital about my upcoming visit. I was stunned and my heart breaks for his family, friends, and colleagues at Mercy. He was a wonderful doctor that made me always feel confident of how he managed my care. He had a warm and caring personality that set me at ease as soon as I met him. I could see he was not just a great doctor, but a wonderful person. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, colleagues, and patients.

I found out today and I want to say sorry for your loss. Its my loss too. I told Dr Williams to his face thank you for saving my life.

So sad to hear of Dr. William's passing. September 1, 2020 he placed my ICD. I was looking forward to our visit next month. Such a kind & gentle soul who will be missed greatly. Praying for his family.

Sorry for your loss Dr.William saved my life at Sweish Medical Center in Seattle Washington he will be greatly missed.

We just learned of Dr. Williams´ passing from his office at Mercy Heart Hospital; we had an appointment coming up with him this month. Could not believe what we were told; such a young man, so kind and brilliant with such a warm personality. He left this world way too young, but oh my goodness, what an impact he had on so many people! Our prayers go out to his family, his friends, and his colleagues at Mercy at this difficult time. He will be missed and will be kept in our thoughts and prayers.

My family and I pray for Dr. Williams and his family, he was great at what he did, he saved my life, he gave me back a normal lifestyle, he made me comfortable and on top of it all he was a successful black man who held down his career and his family and my wife and I are heart broken, again we pray the good Lord comforts and keeps Dr. Williams family through this time and in the future, much respect to Dr. Williams.

I'm so sorry for your loss and my heart goes out to your family. My son went to Wash U Nursery school with Eric's daughter and I got to know Eric at school events and kids' birthday parties. I liked Eric a lot and really enjoyed talking to him. He will be missed by many.

I'm almost speechless. I barely knew Dr. Williams but I immediately liked him when we first met. His passing is a significant loss to everyone fortunate enough to have known him.

So loved this man! We talked about California and his time there. My heart bleeds for your loss! I´m a nurse that took care of his patients that loved him so. If you need anything please ask, in loving kindness, Tina Ward

Our path crossed as accompany my mother to see her physician. The new Electropysiologist at the Heart hospital. Impressively he spoke. Introduced himself as Dr. E. Williams studied, and research in other hospital communities out of state.
Here it is" finally thinking , a brother handling his business combining physic science to find better ways treating the hearts aFib conditions measuring/viewing matters of motions, and behaviors of the heart. .....Wow! Is all I could say....then my mother said I told ya he's good. Never thougt I would see the day my mother appreciatedany medical physician. DR. WILLIAMS made my mother feel comfortable...his bed side manners where politful every visit. Even times I were not able to attend . He would ask " where's your daughter, how is she etc etc.
Several occassion a conversation would start. Rather my mother asking bout his family , or me asking how's his daughter expressing her self in St. LOUIS . HE would speak on how its a lot of free stuff our state offers. How he were fine tuning her in the Arts to have a better view on life.
Then one day our conversation included famous artist singer I spoke of Nina simmon. He drove deep in and pulled out Coltrane, John.....ok what bout Charlie Parker or Ella Fitzgerald. Dr. Williams look are round with that huge smile of his " saying you know Parker" I replied yes and other cats like him. But you must feel them on wax. Records Lps / 45. Which I know you have being a music lover.
He spoke of his profound love for family. His sister he said reminds him of champagne very tastful, bubbly....easy to enjoy.
His aura showcase a rainbow of colors at any giving time. It was always a great pleasure to have be surrounded by his presence. Awesome!
Ole saying " stop to smell the Roses" you never know what conversation will strike up, or what person will impact your life even if just for a little while.
Our condolence to the Williams Family, thanks for sharing your Husband, father, son, brother with so many people over his life time much appreciated.

My husband Roy L. Williams and I Sharon Williams, are so heartbroken because Dr. Eric Williams place both of our ICD in and we use to tease him about us having a son also named Eric Williams and how we wish he was our son, so YES! we were devastated to hear of his passing and our prayers definitely go out to the entire family, and especially his wife, child, and mother, because we also had a loss with our son Michael in July 2019, So family stay strong and keep praying for strength to make it through, and we will never forget Dr. Eric because we feel he is a part of us. Thank you for sharing Dr. Eric Williams

we were so sadden to hear this we are sending our prayers to Hedy and Zoro

We offer our deepest sympathy to Dr. Williams' family. We are heartbroken for them and for the community at large for the loss of such a wonderful person and such a kind and gifted doctor. We pray for God's comforting grace for his family at this difficult time.

I am so sad to hear this. Condolences to his family and colleagues. I knew him when he trained as a fellow at Duke and have fond memories of his calm demeanor and commitment to excellence.

It was with great shock and sadness that I learned of Dr. Williams passing. He was such a good man that did not mind explaining to us as staff his plan to help solve a patient´s arrhythmia issue. My deepest sympathy goes out to Hedy and Zora, his mother and the rest of his family. As well, It is a terrible loss for the Electrophysiology community. Heart felt thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

I admired Eric and enjoyed working with him during our time together at Duke. I am so sad to hear of his passing. Sending peace and condolences to his family and loved ones, and all who are grieving for him today.

So devastating. I send my love and profound sympathies to Hedwig and Zora. Such a loss to the world community.
