Obituary of Ronnie Lynn Williams

Ronnie "Willie" Lynn Williams 1950–2018. Ronnie "Willie" Lynn Williams, born July 5, 1950 in Milan, Tennessee, passed away Oct. 9, 2018 in Faribault from complications of heart disease. He graduated from Eastern High School, Lansing, Michigan in 1968 as an All-American football player. Ron became a Christian in 1972 and his relationship with Jesus Christ, his family and friends were priorities throughout his life. He married Susan (Kimball) on May 4, 1974 and moved to Minnesota in 1975 to attend Bethany Missionary School in Bloomington. He and Sue never became missionaries overseas, but he went on many short-term mission trips to Mexico, China and his front yard! He was devoted to working with troubled youth as well as children and adults with developmental disabilities. He was a youth soccer coach in Chaska Minnesota and an active volunteer in his children's activities. Ron enjoyed being involved with his church, and inner-city ministry teams including bible studies at the Stillwater Prison. Ron loved people and had the gift for gab. Anyone that knew him, or didn't, often were pulled into one of his lengthy conversations! He was famously stubborn but would give you the shirt off his back if he thought you needed it more than him. He was preceded in death by his mother Ollievene (Presgrove), father Dee Frank Williams, step-mother Peggy, and younger brother Stanley. He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Susan, children Josh, Leah, Jeremy and Jermain, older brother Kerry (Kathy), sister-in-law Connie and many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles and friends. Ron would love if people gathered to share memories and "gab" for a while. The family will have an open house visitation on Saturday Oct. 27.
