Mr. Theodore Michael “Ted” Williams, a devoted father, brother, and friend, passed away leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and kindness that will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Ted is survived by his wife, Monica Williams, beloved daughter Rylee Madison, his loving sisters Crystal Gilbert and Paige Williams, and his caring brother Anthony Williams (Amanda) and niece Maddie Lawrence. He also leaves behind his cherished nephews Clay Gilbert and Clark Gilbert, and his cousin Keith Tucker, all of whom will forever hold his memory close to their hearts.
Ted was preceded in death by his parents Ted Williams and Sheila Williams, his great aunt Faye Allison, his aunt Kim Tucker, and his grandmother Glenda Gaines.
Known for his wonderful sense of humor and caring nature, Ted could always be counted on to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He had a sarcastic, dark sense of humor that kept everyone laughing, and his friends and family will fondly remember his ability to bring light to even the toughest of days.
Ted loved motorcycles and the freedom of the open road, where he found peace and joy. Those who knew him best describe him as dependable and trustworthy, a true protector and loyal friend who always put others first.
He will be remembered as a wonderful, loving brother, a devoted father, and a man who made the world a better place simply by being in it. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him, and his laughter will continue to echo through every shared story and cherished memory.
