With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved father, Robert Alan Williams, who was called home to the Lord on Thursday, February 5th, 2026.
Robert moved here from Vincennes, Indiana in 1943. He attended St. Mary’s High School. He graduated ASU with a Bachelor’s in Accounting with Distinction. Robert proudly served in the United States Army and carried that sense of dedication and strength throughout his life. He worked for Hallcraft Homes as the Vice President, Nicoli International and International Leisure Hosts as an accountant. He had a deep love for sports, especially ASU football, and never missed a chance to cheer them on. He also dearly loved his dogs, who were constant companions and brought him comfort and joy. He loved people and making everyone happy.
Robert is now reunited in eternal peace with his beloved wife of 47 years, Charlotte Williams, where they are together again in God’s loving presence.
He is survived by his son Paul Williams; his daughter Elizabeth Valdez and her husband Martin; and his cherished grandchildren Antonio and Veronica who brought him great joy.
