Larry Williams

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of our beloved Larry "Kevin" Williams on March 21, 2025. Born on June 22, 1959, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Kevin was a man of resilience, an unyielding spirit, and an endless love for his family and friends.

Kevin was a man of many passions and talents. He had a special fondness for the whispering trees that surrounded his Dayton, Ohio home, the thrill of watching Bengals football, the joy of crafting metal sculptures, and front porch-garage sitting. As Henry David Thoreau once said, "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." Kevin saw beauty and opportunity in everything, whether it was diagnosing a mechanical issue or meticulously tending to his yard, but his love for life was infectious.

However, Kevin's greatest love was for his family. His wife Beverly was his rock, his partner, his confidante. His relationship with his son, Billy, was one of mutual respect and deep affection. But it was his granddaughters who held the most special place in his heart. Kevin was a loving, devoted grandfather, always ready with a wise word, a comforting hug, or a silly joke to light up their faces.

Larry "Kevin" was preceded in death by his parents, Larry Williams and Margaret Murphy, whose love and values shaped the wonderful man he became. His sister Teresa.

He is survived by his loving wife, Beverly Jo Williams; his brothers Ron and Mike Williams; and his sisters Dreama and Lore. His sons Billy Williams, JR Tuttle, and daughter Brandie Kershaw. He had seven grandchildren, Nathan, Dillon, James, Kyler, Taylor, Katelynn, and Kynz. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him, and his legacy will continue to inspire and guide us.
