Timothy Tim Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Ellis Funeral Home & Cremation Service - Nashville on Feb. 12, 2026.
Timothy Donnell Williams, age 66, passed away at his home in La Vergne, Tennessee, on February 11, 2026. Born on August 25, 1959, Tim was the elder son of Buford Donnell Williams and Peggy Joan Rogers Williams, both of whom preceded him in death.

Tim grew up in the Rockvale (Versailles) community, attending Rockvale Elementary School and graduating from Riverdale High School in 1978 where he was a member of the baseball team. In his career, Tim served as a firefighter with the City of Murfreesboro and worked as an auto body technician.

He is survived by his children, Rachel Nicole Williams and Ryan Donnell Williams, both of Kentucky; his grandson, Landon Gibbs of Watertown; his sister, Jacqueline Williams of Murfreesboro; and his brother, Keith Williams (Jean) of Unionville.

Tim was raised at the Rockvale Church of God, which provided the foundation for his faith that grew throughout his life.

A graveside service will be held for family and friends at Evergreen Cemetery in Murfreesboro.
