Keith Robert Williams

Keith Robert Williams, age 49 of Arlington, passed away on June 9, 2019. He was born on August 19, 1969 in Shreveport, Louisiana, the son of Billy and Julia (Grimes) Williams. Keith married Lisa Chapman on February 17, 2005 and they celebrated 15 years of marriage. Keith was a brilliant child, always interested in science and technology. As he grew up, Keith shared his knowledge with others, teaching classes at the young age of 12, to helping others solve problems, and even making a perfect score on the math portion of the SAT. Keith graduated from Berkner High School in Richardson, and attended Texas Tech, and most recently worked for Tenaska, Inc. as a security control administrator. In his spare time, Keith enjoyed leather working, sports cars, making and flying drones, and shooting. Keith’s greatest time was spent with his family and friends, all of whom will miss his smile and sense of humor. Keith is survived by his wife, Lisa; daughters Amberlie Elisabeth and wife Jordan Danielle Savell; Kelcee Mishell and husband David Jeffrey Gannon; Aunt and Uncle Leon and Donna Lacis; grandchildren Braxton Payne Holderby, Maezie Landry Holderby, and Hannah Michelle Holderby; sister Wendy Kristine Williams Russell and fiancé John William Burkhart; nephews Andy Glenn Russell, Jr., Caleb Wayne Chapman, and Kendall Lee Chapman; parents Billy Lee and Julia Ann Grimes Williams; parent-in-laws Martha Faye and Owen Craig Chapman; and his beloved bulldog, Toby. A celebration of Keith’s life will be at 1:00 PM on Saturday, June 22 at Moore Bowen Road Funeral Home Arlington. The family invites family and friends to dress comfortably and wear blue – Keith’s favorite color. The family will host a lunch reception immediately following the service. All in attendance are welcome to join us. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Keith’s honor to St. Jude’s Research Center or to the ASPCA.
