He was born on January 14, 1977 to Ronald and Eldonna (Hardin) Williams. Tony was a correctional officer, like his siblings, for Illinois at the Pontiac maximum security prison.
Tony loved fishing, hunting, canoeing, and home improvement projects using especially things he learned from his dad. He built an outside area for his cats and recently finished installing insulation and siding on his home. He also liked taking care of bonsai trees.
