Robert Williams

Robert Williams, 85
Robert Williams, beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, went home to be with the Lord surrounded by family. Born to Oveta and Leon Williams, Robert was a man of quiet strength, deep loyalty and unwavering love.
Robert was married to the love of his life, Laverne Williams, for 60 beautiful years. Together they built a family rooted in faith, commitment, and joy. He was a proud father of three, and his legacy continues through his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, all of whom adored him and cherished his wisdom, humor, and gentle spirit.
A dedicated and hardworking man, Robert retired from Florida Power & Light (FPL) after more than 30 years of devoted service. In his younger years, he found his greatest enjoyment hunting, fishing, woodworking, photography and cheering on his Miami Dolphins every chance he got. He also spent time volunteering for the Sheriff's Auxiliary Department. Later in life you could find him traveling or singing karaoke around Okeechobee.
Robert was a faithful member of Oakview Baptist Church, where he worshipped, served and formed lasting friendships throughout his life.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Oveta and Leon Williams and his loving wife, Laverne Williams. Their reunion in Heaven brings comfort to the family he leaves behind.
He is survived by his son, Bryan Williams; daughters, Stephanie Larson (John) and Daphanie Linville (Jeff); nine grandchildren; and a host of great grandchildren.
Robert's life was a testimony of love, loyalty and faith. He will be forever remembered and deeply missed by all who knew him.
