At the time of his death, he had his own personal music studio. He was an excellent cook, a history buff, a huge fan of comedy and dreamed of owning a yacht.
These passions became a cornerstone of his life, filling his home with music, love, and shared experiences with his wife, Lucinda and their three children, Preston, Abbey, and Louie.

Mother, Nancy Williams and father Billy Williams. 1 brother Mark Williams and wife Jenny Williams together with 2 nieces, Riley and Sarah Williams. 1 uncle Mark Hammons and wife Laurie Hammons.
