David Williams Obituary
Wisconsin Rapids - David Raymond Williams, Jr. fought a courageous battle against cancer, but on June 19, 2019 it was time for his fight to end and for him to return home with our Lord and Savior.
A Celebration of Life gathering for David will be held at Lake Emily Inn (LEI) in Amherst, Saturday, July 6th starting at 1pm.
Born on his father's birthday, July 22nd, 1975, David grew up in Washington State. He moved to Amherst, Wisconsin in his 30's and made fast friends with everyone he met, despite how much he loved wearing his Seattle Seahawks gear and partaking in spirited debates with our Packers fans!
Amherst became David's adopted hometown, especially after marrying his beloved wife Kaylyn. David enjoyed fishing and riding his Harley, and anyone who heard him sing and play guitar could hear the stunning power and passion in his talent.
David celebrated every day with his wife and their young daughter, Shelby Lynn, renovating their Wisconsin Rapids home and sharing his music, even when his cancer made it harder to perform and sing.
David will be remembered for his songs and music, his handiwork, his sweet rides, and his generous smile. And no other stuffed mushrooms will ever taste as good as the ones that David shared with his friends and family.
David was preceded in death by his father, David, and by his Aunt Tammy. He is survived by his wife Kaylyn, his mother, Robin and by his siblings, Brian (Rae), Rob, Nova, and Daniel. David is further survived by his children Serena, Gabriel, Aiden, Isabella, and Shelby. "Uncle Daver" will also be missed by his many nieces and nephews whom he loved so much.
Special thanks from David's family to the Ascension St. Michael's Hospital Oncology team and inpatient units for all the amazing care they provided to David and his family. Thank you also to Ascension St. Clare's Hospital for caring for David in his final hours.

I was a bass player in the Bourbon Creek Band. David was the best singer I ever heard! It was an honor to play by his side and to know him.
RIP My bandmate

I'm only just learning of David's return to Heaven on this 21st day of February 2022. God surely must have had to call him Home after sharing him with the many whose lives he blessed! Prayers that Bonnie is doing well and that Charlie the poodle is still there for her to hug!

David was one of the most well-read people I have ever known. He could discuss or debate most any subject. I had the pleasure and honor to have known him for over 40 yrs. He was my best friend.
He was honest, loyal and a true patriot. Over the years, we spent hours talking about current events, history, the shooting sports and sailing.
He was known for his wit and humor. Sometimes he would say something that would catch us off guard, then burst into laughter. The joke was on us. Thank you for all the good memories David. Your friend, Gary & family.

My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of David Leon Williams. God understands the comfort that we need when we lose a loved one. May you confide in Him always because "His understanding is beyond measure." (Psalm 147:5)

Dave was a magnificent guy--funny, engaging and sharp as a tack. He was a fixture at the Rosenberger get-togethers over the years and I will always have great memories of him. I'll miss our visits in the Cougar Den...sincere condolences from the entire Rosenberger family. RIP.
