Fredrick is fondly remembered by his three sisters-Donna Williams, Connie (Daryl Piersawl), Anne Williams-and his brother, Gaither Halliburton. He was also a loving brother-in-love to Vanessa Connor and Sheree Harris, and an esteemed uncle to many nephews, nieces, and cousins.
As the matriarch of the Williams family, his Aunt Nannie (Dykie) Reed and countless friends and loved ones mourn his loss. Special friend to him and his wife, Pat Demps.
Six best friends that was by his side for sixty years, Luther Williams, Henry Mack, Fred Bates, Robert Bell, Ronald Skinner, and Roylee Cheanault.
Fredrick was a man of few words but a heart full of kindness. His passion for cooking brought warmth and togetherness to his family and friends, whether at church functions or caring for those in need. He exemplified a servant's heart-always willing to help, always generous with his love.
His legacy of love, compassion, and service will forever remain in our hearts.
