Posted by sbohling2

Joshua Roy Williams, 41, of Lorida, Florida, passed away on June 16, 2026.
Josh was a devoted husband, father, son, brother, and friend whose love for his family and passion for the outdoors defined the life he lived. He found great joy being with his family and spending time hunting, fishing, shooting, riding four-wheelers, and sharing those experiences with family and friends. An avid outdoorsman, Josh appreciated the simple pleasures of life and created countless memories doing the things he loved most with those he cared about.

Josh is survived by his loving wife, Kelli Williams, and their children, Grayson, Sawyer, and Quincy “Pinky” Williams. He is also survived by his parents, Glenn and Sue Williams; his sister, Christie Williams Bohling (Steve); and his parents-in-law, Jeff and Karen Streelman. He leaves behind many extended family members, friends, and loved ones who will forever cherish the memories they shared with him.

Josh will be remembered for his kind heart, generous spirit, and unwavering love for his family. He was always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need and never hesitated to help others, often putting their needs before his own. His adventurous spirit, infectious laughter, and genuine compassion brought strength and companionship to those around him. The impact he made on the lives of others will not be forgotten. Though his time here was far too short, Josh's legacy will live on through the family he loved so deeply and the countless lives he touched along the way.

A Celebration of Life honoring Josh will be held on July 18th, 2026 from 10am to 1pm at the Edna Pearce Lockett Estate located at the corner of County Line Road 721 and US 98 in Lorida, Florida.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests memorial contributions be made through the GoFundMe page established to support Kelli and their children, helping to provide for their future needs and honor Josh’s legacy of love and generosity.
