Elder Keith Brian Williams Sr. was gifted into the world on April 14th, 1956, to Janice Williams (Foster) and Fleming Jewell. He gained his wings on May 24th, 2025.

Keith never met a stranger. He was a man who loved the Lord and his family. He found comfort in cooking for others and putting a smile on your faces with his jokes. He retired from Micro Center. He was limited in what he shared with you. Some called him private, others would say he was being Keith. You wouldn’t know what city he was in or going to until he arrived.

He was greeted by Mother Janice Foster, Father Fleming Jewell wife Tamra Williams, Maternal Grandparents Robert and Helen Williams, Son Keith Williams Jr., grandson Keith Williams III, granddaughter Saquaiza Martin, Sister Janice Williams, Doris Jewell, Aunts Anita Guthier and Mary Williams, Uncles Albert Johnson, Eddie Lee Jewell, Matt Jewell, Joe Lewis Jewell, Jasper Jewell, Robert Williams Jr., Herbert Williams, Nephews Terrance and Joe Jewll.

His legacy lives on with his Daughters Kimberly Moss–Dukes and Kenya Williams. Son’s Dion Archie, Jody Fox, Darion Williams, and Shottuan Galloway. Sister Diann Jewell-Hudson (Terrance), Joan Jewell, Wyuca Jewell- Brandham Brothers: Jerrel (Hamp) Jewell, Terry Jewell, Robert Jackson, and Brett Williams. Special Aunt Mom Gwen Williams, Aunt Laura Jewell. Uncles John Jewell, Harvey Jewell (Clare), Guy Jewell (Cynthia), Samuel A Jewell, Clifford Jewell (Sarah), James Jewell (Yvonne), and Larry Williams. Best Friend/Brothers Larry Johnson, Otis Palmer, and Kenny, 33 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren, and a host of Family and Friends
