April 2, 1960 — February 19, 2024
Jeffery Dean Williams (63) passed away February 19th, 2024.
Born on April 2nd, 1960 in Picayune, MS where he was a lifelong resident.
He was the son of the late Sam B. Williams, and Hilma Stuart Williams, sibling of the late Bobby Williams, Robin Ray Williams, and Sherry Williams Johnson.
Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 43 years Suzanne, two sons Jeffery Wayne Williams, Joshua Williams (Brittany), one brother Ricky Williams, and nephews Sammy Mitchell, Zack Williams, Mike Mitchell, and a host of nieces.
Jeff received his boat pilot license at the age of 21. He finished his 42 year career well respected for moving weight, and keeping fleets together in the Mississippi River Waters.
Jeff gave thanks to the lord for his boys and prayed for them daily.
He loved spending time with his sons and their friends, who always got a bear hug before parting ways.
Jeff will be missed by many, as he never met a stranger.
The burial will be a private ceremony.
EIGHT BELLS
Eight Bells is the traditional way of saying that a sailor's watch is over.
The sounding of the ship's bell is well rooted in the history and tradition of the maritime industry.
The bell marked time onboard and divided the day into shifts or "watches" for the crew.
At the end of the last shift, the end of the last watch, eight bell rang out - Eight Bells and All is Well.
A sailor's time for rest.
