May 27, 1935 — Jun 28, 2024
John Tilford Williams, Jr., 89, of Greenville, Texas passed away on June 28, 2024. He was born on May 27, 1935 to John, Sr. and Joyce (Holdridge) Williams in Dallas, Texas. John, better known as Johnny by all who knew him, lived a well-rounded life. He was a Christian man who loved the Lord Jesus Christ. He and wife Sara were proud and faithful members of Vansickle Baptist Church in Greenville, Texas. He proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps. He worked as a Design Engineer for E-Systems. In the earlier days, Johnny enjoyed many hours spent on Lake O' the Pines and Lake Ouachita boating and camping with family and friends. He enjoyed spending time in his workshop working on various projects ranging from something as simple as painting a set of shelves to a complete vehicle engine swap (and of special note, most of the time, these projects were for someone else). Most of all Johnny was a family man who loved each and every member of his family deeply and cherished every moment spent with them. He leaves behind wonderful everlasting memories and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
