James Ronald Williams, Jr., "JR" as known by his family and friends, age 38, of Miramar Beach, Florida, passed away on Thursday, September 19, 2024, at his home. JR was born on February 2, 1986, in North Richland Hills, Texas to Ron and Angie Williams.
JR resided in Florida for most of his life. JR's education included nursery school at First Baptist Church, Saint Mary Catholic School for elementary, Destin Middle School and graduation from Fort Walton Beach High School. He also attended Auburn University.
He is survived by his parents, James Williams, Sr. and Angie Williams; and brother, Spencer Williams.
He had a passion and love for the outdoors; hunting, fishing, working on the farm, and enjoying a beautiful sunset. He loved the game of football, and was an outstanding athlete in his youth, and was a passionate Auburn and Dallas Cowboys fan. He was a loving gentle soul, that always put others before himself. He cherished spending time with his family, and vacations on the lake or ocean.
He was a true fighter of life! When faced with the diagnosis of Guillain-Barre Syndrome, he was told he would never walk again; he defied those odds, and walked again. He believed in the power of the Lord, and James Williams, Jr. has a strong, beautiful, angel with him now; beloved by all.
