To all the Family:  When we were kids, Monte, Cindy & I had great times together.  Talk about board games!  We would have days of playing the same one.  He did love playing those games.  Through the yrs you loose contact, but you never forget.  That's how it will be, you may loose contact, but you'll never forget.  You have that love to hang on to and those wonderful memories.  I'll miss ya cuz & love to all of you.  Jackie Shamblin

It is hard to say good bye to someone I consider my best friend.  That will never be forgot and won't be able to be replaced.  Losing my dad has left a hugh whole in my heart.  Although I know he is in a better place with no pain, I am left in pain and sadness. 

 Daddy, I'm so happy for you and you will never be forgotten.  You were a great dad and a great friend. I love you very much.

Beebop,
I love you sooooooo much! I love you 2, 4, 12, 18,  20, and 8.  

Love, Ryan Parker Williamson

It is so sad when you lose a childhood friend. Monte and I played together as kids, I was in his wedding and watched his children grow up. Memories are a great thing to have. Hold on to them Gretchen, Ashley Natasha, Ryan. May God Bless You.

Gretchen, Thinking of you and your family. Celebrate your dads life with peace in your heart knowing that he is in the arms of Jesus.

Ryan and Girls so sorry for your loss. May God wrap his arms of love around you and give you peace as only he can do.

I met Monte over 18 years ago when Ryan and natasha were so young.  Never a cross word was spoken between us ,just laughter and a listening ear. He touched my life with his friendship, and he touched my heart with his kindness. He will forever remain a true friend to me. Truly, God has called upon one of his Angels home.

So sorry for your great loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. I remind myself constantly that God is in control, not me. We love you guys and miss you very much.

Gretchen, Ashley, Ryan and Natasha...you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Nancy Chappell CNA Adance Care  In the short time I got to Know Monte ,he gave me a different out look on life. He made me thank God for the little things in life. I will miss him. I 'm so glad I got to know his family. He was my little coke and fruit man. I will see him someday again. Love and Friendship, Nancy

There was no hurt I could feel that would match the loss of a father. I know the emptiness you must all feel right now but thanks be to God there will be a reunion some day.

I love you Beebop! You are my hero! I am going to miss you but I know you are having a good time in heaven! I love you beebop!

Daddy, I'm going to miss you so much.  You were the best dad and we always knew that you loved us.  I'm rejoicing because I know that you are in heaven and completely healed with no more pain.  I love you dad.

Ashley, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family today. The day we buried my dad was the hardest thing I ever experienced in my life. Cherish your memories, and know that the Lord knows what he is doing. Love you girl.

Monte - A good man...and a good dad!

I started working with Monte when he first came to work at Whirlpool. We were working on 2nd shift, and he was a brazer.  He was so much fun to be around, always living life to the fullest, happy and laughing. Making the best out of his situation whatever the case may be.
As all parents do, Monte loved his children. Years later when we would run into each other he would always update me on what each of you were doing at the time and talk endlessly about the grandkids. He was so proud of all of you!!!!  You are truly blessed to have a father/grandfather like Monty. Cherish the memories and know he is watching over you.  Monty’s friendship will be in my heart forever. I am a better person for having known your father/grandfather, Monte Ray Williamson. 
My love & prayers are with you,
Teresa Wright

It is incredibly hard to find the right words to say in this very dark hour; however,as your hearts are heavy and full of grief, remember that the Lord is carrying you through! While I didn't know Monte very well, I do know that he was a very blessed man to have such a close relationship with his family. Natasha, I love you so very much! May you and your family rest knowing your dad is now in peace with our Heavenly Father!

I met Monte 27 years ago..Since that time we have been friends and even roommates on a couple occasions..We have made several trip together..I will always remember his smile and good nature and how he loved his children and took care of them. I will miss him, but I know he will be making those in Heaven laugh as he did us..We will meet again my good friend..Rest in Peace.

Monte was a great dad and a good friend and he loved his children more than anything.  That was evident by the way he cared for them from the time they were born till they were grown with their own children

Monte's love for his children and grandchildren was precious to see.   
May God heal your hearts and give
you comfort.

Ashely Gretchen, Natasha, Ryan My prayers are with you! Your dad was a very good guy..

He was the best father anyone could ever ask for, not only was he a GREAT father but a awsome grandfather and friend. My heart is breaking because of my loss but then again it is rejoicing for heavens gain. I love you daddy and I will miss you sooo bad.

Monte was one of the most thoughtful and caring people I've ever known.  He loved his children and grandchildren more than anything.  You had a heart of gold Monte and I know that you are looking down on your family from Heaven.  Until we meet again.  I love you!

Monte was my best friend for 25 years and there will never be another one like him! He was a friend to all. He will be missed by all that knew and loved him! My prayers and thoughts are with the family at this time.

We  may have gone our separate ways, but our hearts are always together. Thinking of Monte brings a smile to my heart. That's what family is. Love you all.
