James L. "Jim" Williams

 

 1944 - 2/01/2023

 

                                  

James (Jim) L. Williams, 79, entered eternal glory on February 1, 2023. A retired United States Navy pilot and Captain with Delta Airlines, he was a man of innumerable talents, a Jack of all trades, a true renaissance man. He was known for his generosity, his unflappable demeanor and dry sense of humor. He was a man of few words but when he did choose to speak, he would have you doubled over with his hilarity, charm and wit. However, he would most like to be remembered as a man of faith who loved the Lord and his family with all of his heart. Jim broke his femur while playing on a scooter. Surgery was successful to replace the broken bones and rehab was going extremely well until blood clots formed and he suffered a pulmonary embolism which led to cardiac arrest. He fought valiantly to the very end but could not overcome the numerous health challenges that plagued his recovery. He is survived by Elizabeth, his bride of 56 years, their 3 children: Troy, Keri, Erik, his wife Leslie and their children Havilah and Elias,  brother Jerry Williams, sister in law Chris Williams, and step father Jim Hurtad
