John Williams

John David Williams, 42, passed away on September 13, 2025, in Bainbridge, Georgia. Born on August 4, 1983, in Silver Spring, Maryland, John lived a life rooted in family, faith, and a deep appreciation for the simple joys of the countryside. John was a devoted son to his mother, Myra Cowart Williams, and shared a close bond with his late father, George David Williams. He spent many years working alongside his father as an assistant brass technician in the family music store, as well as several additional years in retail, where he brought dedication and care to his interactions. John found joy in shooting sports, in trivia games and in playing the guitar. His love for music was matched by his affection for animals and the peaceful rhythms of rural life, and of time with his parents and pets.

Services for Mr. Williams will be held on Saturday, September 20, at 11:00 a.m., Mount Zion Baptist Church, with the visitation to follow the service. Interment will be held in the Mount Zion Baptist Church Cemetery. Rev. Stephen Webb will officiate. Tommy Moore, Danny Moore, Brett Sutton, Sean Shrader, Jackson Kendrick, and Quinton Horne will serve as pallbearers.

He is lovingly remembered by his mother, Myra Cowart Williams; Grandmother Abbie Gilbert Williams; sisters Michelle McMullen (Brett Sutton), Jennifer Williams (Sean Shrader), and Charlotte Hall (Mike); nieces Juliette Carlsson (Tomas) and Lauren McMullen; nephew Wesley Hall; and great-nephew Alexander Carlsson. His memory is also honored by those who knew him through shared experiences and enduring connections. John was preceded in death by his grandfather John Byron Williams; uncle, Johnny Williams; and father, George David Williams. May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him and peace to all who mourn his passing.
