of West Memphis, AR

September 29, 1959 - August 12, 2024

William ''Bill'' Noel Williams passed away at home with family on Monday, August 12, 2024 at the age of sixty-four.

Bill was born on September 29, 1959 in Chicago, Illinois to Donald ''Don'' and Norma Williams. He was the second of five children and the only whose first name did not begin with the letter ''D''.

Bill was a storyteller at heart and loved to have an engaged and captive audience. Many of the stories he told were gained through his various jobs as a sandwich artist, door-to-door Bible salesman in Oklahoma, working with dangerous chemicals in Alabama, volunteer Shelby County Sheriff's deputy, electrician and eventually electrical contractor in the Memphis area.

Bill was not one to spend his time relaxing and kept himself busy with many hobbies and volunteer work. He was a black belt in Judo, performed in several plays and musicals with The Little Theater of Crittenden County, volunteered with Southern Reigns (an equine therapy facility in Collierville, TN), was a Tiger's football season ticket holder and an avid fisherman, hunter, cyclist and runner. His favorite past-time was spending time with his grandchildren and attending their various activities.

Bill was preceded in death by his dad, Don and best dog, Baxter.

Bill is survived by his wife, Pam; his daughter, Amie Hamling and her husband, Ryan; his grandchildren, Harry and Hazel; his mom, Norma Williams; his brother, Doug (Lisa) and sisters, Denise (Mark), Deanna (Alan) and Donna (Steve); his best friend, Randy and many loving nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Funeral services will be held at Missouri Street Church of Christ in West Memphis, Arkansas on Saturday, August 17, 2024. The visitation will begin at 10:00 AM with the memorial service to follow at 11:00 AM. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Southern Reins Center for Equine Therapy.
