Richard Todd Williams

Tommy Williams & Mrs. Lannie Whiters Williams.

He was reared and guided in a loving Christian home and understood

the importance of the Lord early in life.

He was baptized at New Hope Baptist Church, Hollywood, FL, where

he became a member.

He received his education through Miami-Dade Public Schools. His

careers and experiences varied until he finally settled on a career that

he genuinely loved—Car Detailing. His love of cars led to his passion

for being the best detailer in town. And he was. The time and effort

that was put into each car allowed him to create a work of art. He

worked in this career (self-employed) for over 25 years until his health

began to fail.

Richard’s life was filled with the love of family and friends. This

could be especially seen in the relationship with his daughter,

Shontavia. They shared a unique unbreakable bond filled with love

and laughter—she is truly her father’s daughter. He possessed heart-

filled joy of a loving and doting grandson, Jacob, who daily shouted

out the words “I Love You, Granddaddy!” The connection between

uncle and nephew is priceless. He had two nephews—Amir and Alon.

They were known as Richard’s boys, not Lisa’s. He adored them and

cherished every moment that he spent with them—watching sports--”

Let's Go Heat!” Lastly, the love of a sister is undeniable and

everlasting. Memories of Lisa and Richard’s love will be forever

etched in their hearts. “I Love You, Superman!”

The friendships that Richard established were richly diverse.

Everyone loved him. He was well known and respected throughout

the neighborhood. He truly loved his friends like family.
