Robert Williams Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Austin & Bell Funeral Home, Pleasant View on Dec. 23, 2025.
On December 21st 2025 Robert Lamar Williams of Pleasant View TN left his earthly body to join his Father in Heaven. Robert was born December 18th 1938 to Walter and Louise Williams on the family's tobacco farm in Pleasant View TN. Robert's loved ones will remember fondly his stories, his unique personality and his Christ-like servitude. His life, marked by close calls, great adventures, and exceptional conviction, served as an example for those blessed to know him. Robert worshipped at Coopertown Church of Christ where he served as an elder, and lived his entire life in Pleasant View TN.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his loving wife of 54 years, Nelle Williams; his daughter, Teresa King; his grandsons, Devin Fillingham and Sean Settle; his granddaughter, Meghan Vanatta; and his brothers and sisters, Walter "Cernol" Williams, Gloria Chambliss, and Katie Whittaker.

He leaves behind the luckiest family on earth: his sister, Lou Lavonne Whitley, and brother, Dennis Williams; his son, Tracy Williams, and daughter, Robin Delplane; his grandchildren, Kyla (Ryan) Chapman, Autumn (Alex) Young, Staci (James) Farrar, Stefani (Aaron) Pennington, Stephen Williams, and Santana Williams; and 14 great-grandchildren.

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness"

(2 Timothy 4:7–8)
