Michael was the ultimate outdoorsman, whether he was casting lines into the bayou or tinkering away on boat and lawnmower motors. Known as "Mr. Fix It," he could resurrect any engine with a flick of his wrench and a sprinkle of Cajun magic. His other passion? Powerball dreams. He never missed a chance to buy a ticket, always claiming, "One of these days, I'm gonna hit it big!"
Beyond his hobbies, Michael cherished his family deeply. He leaves behind his devoted wife of 45 years, , Nancy Breaux Williams, his children: John Williams Sr., Michael Williams Jr., Corey Williams (Chasity), and Jamie W. Taylor; twenty grandchildren, Brynn, John, Colt, Ava, Dexter, Hailley, Kelsey, BritLyn, Bryce, Damien, Brysin, Braden, Bella, Zaylee, Aubree, Maddie, Skyleigh, Kaydence, Isaiah, and Ezsmey, along with a growing tribe of nine great-grandchildren; and brothers Daniel Williams, Samuel Williams (Barbara), and Thomas Williams.
He is preceded in death by his son-in-law Derek Taylor, his father Jessie Dalton Williams Sr., his mother Elise Gonzales Williams; and brother, Jessie Williams Jr.,
