Andrew Williams Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Gateway Funeral & Cremation Center - Saint Louis on Mar. 2, 2026.
Andrew Williams, 67, passed away peacefully on February 28, 2026. Born in Ohio and a longtime resident of Hollister, Missouri, Andrew lived a life grounded in faith, humility, and quiet strength. He was known for his strong work ethic and the dedication he brought to everything he did, always leading by example.

He is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Debbie; his brother, Don Williams; and his twin sister, Suzy Hoover. Their memories were a constant source of comfort and connection throughout his life.

Andrew is lovingly remembered by his daughter, Ashlee Fancher, and her husband, John; his stepson, Kevin Hunt, and his wife, Erica; and his four grandchildren, Allexous Hern, Timothy Thompson, and Amanda and Abigail Fancher, who were the light of his life.

He will be cherished for his gentle spirit, steady presence, unwavering work ethic, and the love he poured into his family. Though he is no longer with us, his faith and the warmth he shared remain in the hearts of those who knew him.

A celebration of Andrew's life will be announced at a later date. May he rest in peace and in the eternal embrace of God's love.
