Age - 41

November 25, 2023

DOYLESTOWN - Justin was called home to be with his mom on the evening of Wednesday, November 22, 2023 with his loved ones by his side. He told his Dad he loved him before he went to rest. Born on August 15, 1982 to Steve and Mary Williams, he was a lifelong resident of Doylestown, Ohio. Justin had an unparalleled strength and work ethic that he got from his hero that he called Dad. He was a partner with his dad at the family company, Williams Landscaping, that he took great pride in. Justin had a love for the outdoors that he shared with his dad, brother, uncle, and cousins (old and especially young). One of his greatest joys was hunting or fishing with his uncle, brother, cousins, and friends. When he'd take his younger cousins hunting, they'd debate on whose turn it was to shoot a deer, but Justin always got more joy out of them getting one than himself (if it was a big buck Justin would debate a little harder). He also had a passion for football whether playing it, watching his alma mater (The Ohio State University - OH. . . IO) or his younger cousins, or coaching youth football. He passed this passion on to his brother (you changed my life bud) and cousins (whom a few wear a version of the number Justin wore, because as Coach Carp told Justin, "Only the greats wear # 75"). He will be dearly missed by many, especially his hero (Dad), Steve Williams (TC McGill); brother, Nathan (Liz) Williams; aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and people that he inspired that are too many to count. "Go Rest High on that Mountain. " Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Thursday, November 30, 2023 at 11 a. m. at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, 161 W. Clinton St. , Doylestown, OH, 44230 with Fr. Peter Morris, Celebrant. Burial will follow at the church cemetery. Calling hours will be Wednesday evening from 6 to 9 p. m. at the Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic School gymnasium. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Doylestown Lions Club, 55 Edwards Rd. , Doylestown, OH, 44230 in memory of Justin Williams.
