On March 12, 2026, Chad Wayne Williams, “The Man, The Myth, The Legend,” 44, of West Virginia, moved on to give heaven some hell.

He was a truly loved son, brother, father, and friend. His heart had no boundaries. Chad was born in Cleveland, Ohio. He grew up in West Virginia & Ohio. He graduated from Washington County Career Center in Auto Body Collision & Repair.

Chad was a jack of all trades, a gifted tattoo artist, and a creative soul. He leaves behind a legacy of vibrant art on the canvases of many souls.

He saw the world without limits and boundaries, and the beauty in everything. He has an infectious smile and his laughter could light up a whole room. He loved living life! He loved the ocean, motorcycles, fast cars, and fast women.

Chad was known by his kids as “Mr. Clean” & “Big Boy.” He was known for his spunky and spontaneous personality. He was “one of one.”

He is preceded in death by his mother, Sharon Williams. He leaves behind his father, Chester Williams; his sister, Chassity Williams (Trent); his brothers, Chester Williams III, Bubba Williams (Kim), Davie Bayless (Emily); his niece, Gracie; and nephew, Matt. He also leaves behind the true loves of his life, his children to include his daughters, Kalianna Williams, Tess Williams (Elijah), and his son, Chad “Junior” Williams (Bekah). He left behind so many more loved ones, friends, and family alike.

Chad taught us all to fight hard, love hard, and live life wide open sideways.

Lambert Tatman Funeral Home, South Parkersburg, has been entrusted with Chad’s cremation. A Celebration of Life will be announced by the family where they will celebrate his love, his light, and his laughter.

The legend lives on as he is the last of his kind. Rest in peace brother.
