Jack Bradley Williams

Jack Bradley Williams passed peacefully in the loving embrace of his parents on March 28, 2025. Though his time with us was brief—just five precious days—Jack’s story touched countless lives and inspired an army of prayer warriors as he courageously fought against all odds. Jack’s gentle spirit shone through his love for books, music, March Madness, Disney movies, and his cherished hospital companion, a little teddy bear. His final gift to his parents was an extraordinary 30-plus hours spent together receiving only comfort care, when just minutes were expected, with the final five hours spent at home exploring his nursery and enjoying the soothing rhythm of the porch swing — a memory his parents will treasure forever.

Jack is survived by his devoted parents, Natalie and Chase Williams; his beloved dogs, Leo and Jada; grandparents Ted and Kim Dickman and Lisa and Tom Keller; great-grandparents Roland Cutter (Julie Maxeiner), Cliff and Martha Dickman, Gene and Sheron Piatek, and Mavis Sutton. He is also lovingly remembered by aunts Laura Dickman (Ronnie Schneider), Maria Dickman, Amy Shei (Ren-Jay), and Alexis Williams; uncle David Dickman (Sarah); cousins Oliver, Elizabeth, Mary Kate, and Caroline Shei. Jack joins in heaven his grandfather, Rozell Williams Jr., and great-grandmother, Carolyn Cutter.

A Celebration of Life Mass will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 12, at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Indianapolis. A private family inurnment will follow later this summer at Our Lady of Peace Cemetery.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate team at the NICU at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital for their care and comfort during Jack’s journey. Special thanks are also given to Father Pat Biedelman and Father Bob Sims for their spiritual support.
