Sean Anthony Williams, 56, of Rockingham, passed away Friday, December 26, 2025 at Richmond County Hospice Haven.

He was born March 29, 1969, in Richmond County, son of the late Daniel Franklin Williams and Margaret Ann Parker Lovin.

Sean worked as a roofer with Steen Roofing in previous years. He jokingly referred to himself as "Mayor" of Cordova. He enjoyed hanging out with his buddies and loved watching racing. His greatest love was his family, especially his grandchildren, who lovingly referred to him as "Papa Weasel". Sean will be dearly missed by his family and those who knew and loved him.

Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Ruby Steen Williams; and the father who raised him, Larry Lovin.

Sean is survived by his children, Traci Williams White (Bobby), Virginia Ann Williams, and Sean Anthony Williams, II (Aimee), all of Rockingham; his beloved grandchildren, Logan, Gracie, Millie, Jamie, Averie, Journie, Bryson, and Bentley; brother, Eric Lovin of Ellerbe; sisters, Kim Maness and Robin Carpenter, both of Rockingham; aunts, Brenda Childers of Rockingham, Dianne McAuley of Ellerbe, and Yvonne Singletary of Rockingham; and uncle, Randy Williams.

Private services will be held by the family at a later date.

Memorials may be made to: Richmond County Hospice, 1119 N. US Hwy. 1, Rockingham, NC 28379.
