1v1r. Tyrone Williams was born on }\!fay 7, 1945 in Atlanta, Georgia to James and 11aggie Williatns.
He attended Crogman Elementary School and Carver Vocational High School, where he played his favorite sport, football. He later played semi-pro football with the P Funk Ball Team.
On June 2, 1966, he married Erma Jean Williams and to this union three children were born: I<asha Monyette, Trazet Taymea and I<eenan Williams.
Tyrone worked for Brown & Webb Construction Company until his illness. He enjoyed building things; he could make and fi"{ anything. Tyrone loved to fish; he went as often as possible.
Tyrone loved his grandchildren; he encouraged them to play sports, went to every game and always praised them. Win or lose "you played a good game." Tyrone was known as a good guy. He was always trying to help somebody. His famous words were, "Jean let's see what we can do" and stuck with it until it "\Vas done. Children were his favorite. He loved kids. Our house was always open to them. He reached out to them. Whatever they needed, a ride to school, practice, a few pennies or just to talk, he "\vas there and happy. Often he told me that making other people happy made him happy. Even during his illness he reached out to people. Where ever he went he left with a friend. Doctors, nurses all liked him; they all thought of him as a free spirit joker.
Tyrone will truly be missed but never forgotten for he has left foot prints in our hearts.
Tyrone is survived by a loving wife, Erma Jean Williams; daughters, K.asha :Nionyette Ne"\vton (Alan), Travet Taymea Williams and Patricia Gould (Steve); a son, I<eenan Williams; granddaughters, Tyyanna E. \Villiams, lVIyia Sada Veasey, and :Ny-Riah Tyyia Williams; grandsons, Akeem Jacquez Ne"\vton and K.aleb Malik Newton; greatgranddaughters, Alonnah G. T. Thomas; sister, Sylvia Nfaxey; brother, E d\vard Cobbins (Sandra); sister-in-la"\v, Vernice D ye (Monroe); brothers-in-law, Michael D ye (Patricia) and Vernard D ye; goddaughter, Calandra Hayes of St. Louis, l\1issouri and a host of other relatives and friends.
