In Loving Memory of Michael James Williams
February 8, 1948 – May 24, 2022
Michael (Mike) was born February 8, 1948 to Lorraine and James Williams in San Francisco, California. He grew up in the "City" and was a graduate of City College of San Francisco with a Business Degree. He went on to a career with Dun & Bradstreet and moved to Sacramento, CA which eventually took him to Arlington, Texas where he met his wife, Judy, of 40 years. Ultimately retiring in Saddlebrook, Arizona, he continued his love and passion for golf, sunshine and walking his beloved dog, Mindy, each morning. Mike was one of the easiest people to be around. As one of his friends just said, "he was always ready with a quip or joke and made every day special for everyone around him." He always made people laugh.
Mike is survived by his wife, Judy, daughter, Kelly Ortiz (Jeff), son, Brian Williams (Jess), Step-Son, Michael Burch (Toni), Step-daughter, Michelle Randol (Kirk), Grandchildren, Christopher Williams, Justin Williams, Bradley Williams, Connor Randol and Ashley Gale, along with Great Grand-Children, Chandler & Christian Randol.
Mike is loved by all his family and friends and will be deeply missed.
