Celebrating the Life of Ayden Lee Williams

From the time he was born we knew Ayden was meant for greater things. Bringing two families from culturally different backgrounds together and showing us all what love truly is. He was the glue to our wonderfully dysfunctional family and we loved each other more because of him.

In his 14 years of life he’s created numerous stories that will live on for generations to come. He impacted each one of us deeply with his stories, kooky antics, and his loving presence. Not long after you met him, he had something to talk to you about. His fishing adventures, his football dreams, and his Pawpaw who was by his side every step of the way to becoming an amazing young man.

We miss him waking up with his bed head, tearing up his new shoes as he did his chores, and romping down on the throttle as he blazed the back roads. He was a dead eye shot from the moment Pawpaw put a rifle in his hands. “I want to be a soldier” he would say in his early years as his patriotism grew for his country each year. His Marine uncle had to correct him of course, but we all knew where his heart was. He couldn’t get enough fishing. Every chance he’d get he’d want to be shore side casting into the “deep water”. Football was his passion. Walking in the door, he’d be ready to tell you about the stats of every player he admired, then he’d show everyone just how good he was on the field.

Friday March 15th, the Lord came to take Ayden home. We grieve the loss of his physical presence, but we know he’s loving catching up with his Grandma and telling her all his tales.
