It is with profound sadness and much love that we announce the peaceful passing of Ronald "Chico" Williams, aged 71, at his home in Dublin, Georgia, on October 12, 2026. Born on June 2, 1955, in Dublin, Ronald lived a life filled with care and devotion to his family, friends, and community. Ronald was a beloved son to the late Louis and Valerie Williams and is now reunited with them in eternal peace. He was also preceded in death by his precious grandson, Raekwon Jarvez Coady, a cherished twin brother, Donald Williams; his sister, Gladys Lloyd (Fred); and his brother-in-law, Michael Craig Waters. Ronald dedicated years to; Basset Furniture, Woolen Mill and Evans Cabinet Co and was know for his tireless work ethic. He had a love for singing and fashion, bringing a vibrant melody and an undeniable sense of style to everyone he met. His deep love for dogs truly exemplified the phrase "man’s best friend," and he found great companionship and joy in their presence. He took great pleasure in caring for his houseplants, mowing lawns and trimming hedges, for others throughout the community, transforming ordinary spaces into serene havens. Ronald's life was a testament to the beauty found in simplicity and the joy of nurturing living things. Left to cherish Ronald's memory are his devoted son, Frederick Coady, and daughter-in-law, Daisy; his loving grandson, Dre'une Ramone Coady; and his great-grandson, Aamirune Jarvez Coady, who brought immense joy to his life. Ronald is also survived by his siblings; brother, Tony L. Williams; his sisters, Brenda W. Beard (Wayne) and Treva W. Waters. Ronald will be remembered by his many nieces and nephews, cousins, neighbors, friends, and special lifelong friends; Carlene (Al) Myricks and Richard Plummer. Ronald "Chico" Williams will be dearly missed and forever remembered by all who knew him. May his gentle soul rest in peace. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Ronald's memory to a charity of your choice, reflecting his spirit of giving and love for all living things.

I’m Free

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I took His hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah, yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and peace to thee, God wanted me now; He set me free.
