Cecil Dalton "Bubba" Williams, Jr.

August 13, 1972 - December 29, 2024

Cecil "Bubba" was born on August 13, 1972 in River Rouge, Michigan to the late Cecil Dalton Williams, Sr. and Reba Jo (Wynn) Williams. He was the eldest son of six children. He was their friend and at times their protector. Bubba was a kind soul and though he spent his youth up north, if you knew him, he was just a good ole country boy. 

He enjoyed working on anything with an engine. He enjoyed playing music on his guitar, listening to old country music and talking about the days gone by. Bubba loved spending time with the kids, the outdoors, and fishing. He loved his family dearly. He was a friend to many and he will be greatly missed. 

He leaves behind many friends he considered family and family he considered friends.

He is survived by his brother Pat (Courtney) Williams of Dresden; four sisters, Dianna (Greg) Rochell of Florida, Jo Reba (Dean) O'Daniel of Kenton, Crystal (William) Belew of McKenzie and Sandra (Joseph) Holley of Florida; thirteen nieces and nephews that he loved and enjoyed; and fourteen great nieces and nephews that he cherished, as well.

A celebration of life will be held at 1:00 P.M. on Sunday, March 9, 2025 at The Purple Iris, 113 N Poplar St Dresden, TN 38225.

Please let the family now if you will be attending as they need a head count for the meal that is going to be served.
