Michael Williams, Sr.

MICHAEL DWAYNE WILLIAMS SR. WAS BORN ON SEPTEMBER 15, 1962, IN DAYTON, OHIO. HE LIVED LIFE ON HIS OWN TERMS STRAIGHTFORWARD, HONEST, AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY HIMSELF. MICHAEL LOVED QUARTET MUSIC, ENJOYED WATCHING TELEVISION, AND TREASURED SPENDING TIME WITH HIS FAMILY. THOSE WHO KNEW MICHAEL KNEW HE WAS A MAN OF FEW WORDS, BUT WHEN HE SPOKE, HE MEANT WHAT HE SAID.

HE COULD BE BLUNT, SOMETIMES HARD TO HANDLE, AND OFTEN UNINTENTIONALLY FUNNY. HIS HONESTY CAME WITHOUT A FILTER, BUT SO DID HIS LOVE. BENEATH HIS TOUGH EXTERIOR WAS A GENEROUS HEART. IF HE HAD IT, YOU HAD IT. HE WOULD GIVE THE SHIRT OFF HIS BACK TO HELP SOMEONE IN NEED AND NEVER THINK TWICE ABOUT IT.

MICHAEL WAS PRECEDED IN DEATH BY HIS PARENTS, GARLAND AND BETTY JO WILLIAMS.

HE LEAVES TO CHERISH HIS MEMORY HIS TWO DAUGHTERS, LASHANDA (JOSEPH) ALLEN OF GREENSBORO, NC AND SHALONDA DOUGLAS OF TALOFOFO, GUAM; ONE SON, MICHAEL WILLIAMS JR. OF GREENSBORO, NC; EIGHT GRANDCHILDREN, MEIKALA WILLIAMS, ANTONIO , ANTHONIE, ANTOINE, AND ARIANA HEMINGWAY, ZOIE VARGAS, MAKYE WILLIAMS, ALL OF GREENSBORO, NC AND GIONNA DOUGLAS OF TALOFOFO, GUAM; TWO GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN, TRISTAN SMITH AND IZAYIAH JACKSON JR,BOTH OF GREENSBORO, NC.

HE ALSO LEAVES TO CHERISH HIS MEMORY ONE BROTHER, GARLAND (RHONDA) WILLIAMS JR.; TWO SISTERS, ANITA JO (CHRISTOPHER) SIMON SR. AND CHRISTINA BARNES; ONE SPECIAL NIECE, KRISTIANA SIMON; AND A HOST OF OTHER RELATIVES AND FRIENDS, INCLUDING SPECIAL COUSINS KAREN CRAWFORD, SANDRA KAY COOK, ADRIENNE COOK, AND CAROLYN CLAY.

MICHAEL’S PRESENCE WAS STRONG, HIS PERSONALITY UNFORGETTABLE, AND HIS LOVE THOUGH SOMETIMES EXPRESSED IN HIS OWN UNIQUE WAY WAS REAL. HE WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED AND FOREVER REMEMBERED BY ALL WHO HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF KNOWING HIM.
