Kevin B. Williams, of Peoria,70, passed away surrounded by his family on Sunday, October 12, 2025, at The Fountains Senior Living in Bettendorf, IA.
Kevin was born November 3, 1954, in Peoria, a son of Homer and Margaret (Sidwell) Williams.

Kevin had a long career in the construction business, first working at his father's company, Homer Williams & Sons Construction and later worked at Williams Brothers Construction Inc.
Kevin's greatest joy in life was his family. He was a proud father who always showed up for his children, whether cheering from the sidelines or coaching their teams. He enjoyed lake days in Minnesota and family vacations to the beach.
For thirty-six years, Kevin was a referee in the Peoria area sharing his love of the game and even working the IHSA State tournament in 2004.
He found joy in the simple things - sharing laughs, making memories, and being surrounded by family and friends. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
