Terry Lynn Williams, 57, of White Hall, Arkansas, passed away Friday, February 4th, 2022 due to complications related to Covid-19.
Terry was born on January 24th, 1965 to Jerry and Emily (Allen) Williams in Hampton, Arkansas.
Terry attended Watson Chapel High School and graduated in 1983. After graduation, Terry had a few different jobs but ultimately he made his way to something that had fascinated him since he was a very young boy, 18-wheelers and big trucks. The majority of his adult life was spent working with Joel Foster and his family businesses. Terry was a tow truck driver, a semi-truck driver, a diesel mechanic, and trained in tractor and other small engine repairs. In 2021 Terry retired because of health complications after 20 plus years with the company. The time between retirement and now was spent with his wife, Deborah (Debbie) Williams, and his grandchildren.
Terry and Debbie met in 2000 and were married in 2004. When they wed Terry gained a daughter, Julia Smith, that led him to the next three loves of his life, his grandsons. Terry always said "I've been called many names in my life but Papaw is my favorite" and he lived up to every letter in that word. He was the ultimate Papaw to Austen, Jackson, and Sawyer. He never missed a chance to take them fishing and spend time with them. There wasn't a moment that one of the boys couldn't call up their Papaw and him not drop everything and come pick them up if they wanted him to. His family meant more to him than anything else in the world, something he often mentioned.
Terry did everything big. He was a force of nature and an avid storyteller. He never met a stranger. His smile and laugh were as big as his personality. Terry could be heard throughout the room, even his snores at times. This could easily happen even during the middle of a conversation but that didn't stop him from snapping his head up and joining back into a conversation as if he had never nodded off, to begin with.
Terry was also passionate about his church and church family at New Harvest Church of God and could often be found there when he wasn't at home. He was an active member and involved in his Sentry class and Life 3:16.
Terry was predeceased by his father Jerry, his mother Emily Cleo, and his brother Matthew. He is survived by his wife Debbie and their fur babies Bella and Bitty, daughters Julie (Billy) Sims, Anna Williams, and Amber (Christian) Morrow, grandchildren Austen, Jackson, Sawyer, Will, Clayton, and Cadee, father-in-law Alfred Eugene (Mary Ann) Jones, sister-in-law Gennaifer (Steve) Ashcraft, brother-in-law Stephen (Brandy) Jones, nieces, nephews, multiple cousins, and a host of friends who love him dearly.
There will be a celebration of life service on Saturday, February 12th, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. at New Harvest Church of God in White Hall, Arkansas.
