Don Williams Obituary
Don was born February 20, 1974 in Marquette to Donald Williams, Sr. and Jean Morris, and was lovingly raised by his mother and his grandmother, Evelyn Morris. He attended Marquette Senior High School and was a lifelong area resident. Don was proud to be the primary homemaker and adored being able to take care of his children while his wife pursued her career.
In his spare time, Don loved camping with his family, especially at Van Riper State Park, loved listening to music and was a fan of Michael Jackson. More than anything, Don was a family man who truly cherished being with his wife, children and was such a proud and loving grandpa.
Surviving are his loving wife of 24 years, Hailey (Orr) Williams; his sons, Jesse and Riley Williams, both of Ishpeming; his two daughters, Kiya (Joe LaCasse) Williams of Lake Linden and Eliza Williams of Ishpeming; his beloved grandson, Leo LaCasse; his father; and numerous brothers, sisters, brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews and cousins. He was preceded in death by his mother; and grandmother, Evelyn Morris.

Don was larger than life. Don could get a whole room of people laughing! Don and I had an awesome visit recently. I had no idea it would be our last hang. We became friends @ age 5, he was 6. He was a huge influence in music. He got me into funk and r&b. I had such a great childhood because of his friendship.... A true best friend, Don Williams! Don is playing drums with Rob P, up in heaven.

Although distance often kept us apart, I will always hold you dear to my heart. You were my oldest brother and that will never change. Rest peacefully big brother.
