Thomas Ray Williams

Thomas Ray Williams of Wilson, North Carolina passed away on June 30, 2026. Tommy was a loving and devoted husband, a loving and cherished father, and a special, irreplaceable papa. He was the best friend anyone could of ever asked for.

Tommy was smart, kind, witty, and funny. He kept his family laughing and always felt like a safe harbor. Anyone around him instantly felt their heavy burdens melt away. The biggest thing about him was his heart.

He brought the same joy and passion to his professional life, spending his years working a job he truly loved.

When he wasn't working, his favorite places to find peace were at the ocean casting a line or peaceful trips to the mountains. Above all else, his absolute favorite thing in the world was simply spending quality time surrounded by family.

His greatest devotion was his undying love for his wife Vicky. She was the center of his world, and they had a bond so strong that even death cannot separate.

We have all been blessed beyond measure to have Tommy in our lives.

He leaves behind his wife Vicky Williams of thirty-two years. His children and grandchildren, Jr. and Kevi (Ethan and Benjamin), Danny (Macey and Kolby), Krystal (Jayden).
