Donald "Don" Francis Williams

January 20, 1941 - July 24, 2026

Donald "Don" Williams, 85, passed away peacefully on July 24, 2026.

Don lived a life defined by faith, family, and service. A proud veteran of the United States Army and a member of the 101st Airborne Division, he considered serving his country one of the greatest honors of his life. He also found joy on the golf course, listening to jazz music, and, above all, spending time with the family he loved so deeply.

Don is survived by his beloved wife, Jacqueline Williams; his son, Paul (Debi) Williams; and his daughter, Gayle (Jeff) Mueller.

He was a proud grandfather to Brandon Williams, Courtney Radford, Jordan (Kelsey) Williams, Maddie (Mueller) Paplanus, Ryan (Brittany) Mueller, Jack (Allie) Mueller, and Kate (Kaelyn) Wondell. He was also blessed with 18 great-grandchildren: Christopher, Lily, Jonah, Abel, Isabel, Scarlett, Marley, Delilah, Rowan, Sage, Emery, Athena, Brent, Micah, June, Luke, Hunter, and Riley.

While his family grieves his passing, they find peace and hope knowing he is now home with his Savior, Jesus Christ.

Family and friends are invited to join in celebrating Don's life. In honor of his love for God, his family, and the country he proudly served, guests are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue with casual or golf attire as we gather to celebrate the remarkable life of a man who will be deeply missed and forever loved.
