Johnnie Williams Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Ray Williams Funeral Home, Inc. on Aug. 25, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Johnnie Lee Williams, Jr., 67, of Zephyrhills, Florida, passed away peacefully on August 22, 2025. He was born on June 13, 1958, in Miami, Florida, to Lilian Newberry Williams and Johnnie Williams, Sr. He was also the beloved grandson of Robert (Bob) Newberry.

He was preceded in death by his mother, father, grandfather, and brothers, Ronnie and Donnie Williams.

Johnnie was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He shared more than three decades of love with his wife, Valerie Hill-Williams. He was a proud father to daughters, Catherine Williams McPhee and Feltonisha Williams, as well as three bonus sons, Randail, William, and Marcus Hill. His joy was complete in his seven grandchildren, who were the light of his life. After a long career as a driver, Johnnie retired in Zephyrhills, where he faithfully served in the Parking Lot Ministry at Carmel Friendship Church.

Johnnie will be remembered for his warm smile, sense of humor, deep faith, and love for fishing and cheering on his Miami Dolphins. Though his earthly journey has ended, his laughter, wisdom, and love will live on in the hearts of his family and friends forever.
