Obituary published on Legacy.com by Lockett-Williams Mortuary, Inc. - Gulfport on Feb. 16, 2026.
Johnnie Williams was a devoted husband, loving father, proud grandfather and great-grandfather, cherished brother, loyal friend, and faithful follower of Christ. His life was rooted in faith, family, service, and hard work.

Known for his warm sense of humor, kind spirit, deep wisdom, and tireless work ethic, Johnnie lived with intention and integrity. An excellent craftsman, he built not only with his hands, but with his heart - shaping his family through strength, patience, and unwavering love.

He was blessed to share 20 loving years of marriage with his devoted wife, Katherine Williams. He faithfully served as an Elder at Canaan Land Church under the leadership of Dr. Don and Pastor Mona Brawley, demonstrating his steadfast commitment to God and his church family.

He leaves to cherish his memory his beloved wife, Katherine; his children, Tatasha (Chris), Takesha (Gerald), Lakeisha, Gabe, Chrissy, Christopher, and Christine; his siblings; his beloved goddaughter; 14 grandchildren; and 7 great-grandchildren.

Johnnie's legacy lives on through the lives he touched, the lessons he taught, and the love he gave so freely.

He will be deeply missed, forever loved, and always remembered.
