Jennings “Ray” Williams, 71, of Alum Creek went home to be with the Lord Thursday, January 5, 2017 at Hubbard Hospice House West in South Charleston.
He was a retired truckdriver and a member of Olcott Community Church. The joy of his life was serving God, grandchildren and his 2 pug dogs.
Ray was preceded in death by his parents, Chris and Martha Faith Williams; sisters, Joann Holstein and Garnet May; and brother, Junior Williams.
He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Regina; sons, Steve (Julie) Williams and David (Lisa) Williams; grandchildren, Tylor, Tanner, Raygan and Rylee Williams and Cody Thompson; great granddaughter, Addyson Thompson; brothers, Jerry (Connie), Bill (Nell), Roy, John (Brenda) and Ricky (Jackie) Williams; and sisters, Kat (Bob) Pennington and Sue (Leonard) Gibson; and other family members and friends.
Service will be 1:00 p.m. Monday, January 9, 2017 at Curry Funeral Home in Alum Creek with Pastor Audie Murphy, Sr. officiating. Burial will follow at Holstein Cemetery, Dartmont. The family will receive friends 1 hour prior to the service at the funeral home.
The family would like to express a special thank you to the staff at Thomas Memorial Hospital and Hubbard Hospice House West for their care and compassion. Also to all the family and friends that gave so much help and support during his illness.
May the love of family and friends comfort you during these difficult days, my most heartfelt condolences.
I also want to share a beautiful scripture that gives us much hope and personal comfort. Acts 24:15 “And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” Imagine that day when all our loved ones are brought back to life through a resurrection and we can embrace them again. How we long for that truly special day so close at hand.
David your dad is not dead, thanks to Jesus he lives and has a new address! May GOD BLESS you and family every day.
Brother Ray, may you rest in peace
Our deepest sympathy. May loving memories ease your loss and bring you comfort.
