Donald Williams Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 13, 2025.
Donald Charles "Don" Williams, age 64, passed away peacefully on May 12, 2025, in Burleson, Texas.

Born on July 19, 1960, in Northridge, California, Don was the son of the late William "Bill" Williams and Delores Williams. He is lovingly remembered by his children: Deanna Kay Acker, Deborah Anne Hamilton, and Steven Charles Williams. He is also remembered by his brothers, Robert "Bob" Williams and Andrew "Andy" Williams. Don was preceded in death by his sister, Cathlene "Cathy" Williams, as well as his parents.

Don served honorably in the United States Marine Corps, a commitment that reflected his enduring sense of duty and quiet strength. His time in service remained a meaningful part of his life and identity.

A man who appreciated life's simple pleasures, Don found solace in the outdoors-especially while fishing. Whether casting from a boat or sitting quietly by a still lake, he cherished those peaceful moments surrounded by nature.

To those who knew him, Don leaves behind this message of comfort:

"When I am gone, release me, let me go.

I have so many things to see and do,

You mustn't tie yourself to me with too many tears,

But be thankful we had so many good years."

- Unknown Author

In lieu of flowers, please consider spending a quiet moment in nature or donating to a charity of your choice in his memory.

May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.
