Billie Alex Williams passed away at home surrounded by his family on April 15, 2026, at the age of 88. Bill was born on October 20, 1937, in Tazewell, Tennessee.
Bill was a hard worker his entire life. He worked at Tazewell Auto Parts for 30 years and opened his own business, Bill Williams Electric Shop, that he ran for over 50 years. Bill loved all things outdoors; he loved his hunting trips out west, farming, and fishing. He never met a stranger no matter where he was and he loved everyone. Above all, his family was his pride and joy. Bill was a wonderful father and grandfather and will be immensely missed.
Bill was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Mary Williams Cosby; wife, Georgie Williams; and his brother, Virgil (Bernice) Williams.
He is survived by his sons, Wendell Williams and Robert Stilson; grandchildren, BJ (Krissi) Williams, Robbie (Susan) Stilson, Kari (Derek) Roberts, Heather Damron, and Steven Stilson; great-grandchildren, Brayden, Lily, Gunnar "Tater", Kailyn, Kassie, Peyton, Abella, and Rylan; as well as a host of other relatives, friends, and special friends, Junior Bridges, Herman Ferguson, Jack Creech and Dennis Dobbs.
Per Bill's final wishes, he will be cremated and his ashes spread in Colorado in one of his favorite hunting spots.
