Paul Williams Obituary

Paul Williams

Oct 12, 1959 - Sep 1, 2025

Paul Edward Williams, a steadfast soul with a heart as wide as Texas itself, was born on October 12, 1959, in Lubbock, Texas. He departed from this life for a serene and eternal rest on September 1, 2025, in Waco, Texas. Paul's journey through life was much like his career-ever versatile and rich with warmth. As a handyman, mechanic, jack of all trades, and landscape artist, he transformed countless spaces and touched innumerable lives with his unwavering spirit and dedication.

Paul was educated at Waco High School, where his kind nature resonated with friends and classmates alike. He possessed a personality that enveloped everyone around him. Paul was sweet, soft-hearted, and ever ready to lend a hand without needing to be asked. His caring disposition was matched only by his athleticism and passion for sports; he reveled in the thrill of golf, baseball, and all endeavors that brought people together in the spirit of competition and camaraderie.

In life, Paul was cherished by many, leaving behind a legacy of love and kindness. He is survived by his devoted sisters, Rene Seith and her husband Gary, and Tanna Ablowich and her husband Steve, along with his brother, Justin Bond. Paul's family tree extends vibrant branches through his nieces and nephews: Melissa Rebrovich and husband Jeff, Ryan Seith and wife Marjorie, Carson Fowler and wife Kendra, and Randy Fowler and wife Jeri. He was also a beloved figure to multiple great-nieces and great-nephews, a multitude of cousins, and an endless circle of friends who were graced by his presence.

Though Paul's parents, Walter and Norma Williams, have preceded him in death, their spirit continues to echo in the hearts of those who knew him best.

A visitation will be held in his memory on Saturday, September 6, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM, followed by a memorial service at 3:30 PM, both set to take place at Grace Gardens Funeral Home & Crematorium, located at 8220 Woodway Dr, Woodway, TX 76712. All are welcome to join in celebrating the remarkable life of a truly remarkable man.

Paul Edward Williams embodied the essence of a life lived with purpose, leaving indelible marks of joy and generosity woven into the fabric of his community. Though he has moved on, his legacy-a testament of kindness and love-will forever bloom in the hearts of those fortunate enough to have known him.
