Raphael Williams

Our beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend, Raphael Williams, entered eternal rest on the 24th day of August in San Antonio, Texas. He was 94 years of age. Raphael was born in Yoakum, Texas on January 4, 1930 to Willie and Sylvia Williams.

Raphael was a loving man. His family was very important to him. He would always look forward to spending time with family, especially during Thanksgiving and Christmas. In his spare time, he truly enjoyed a competitive game of Dominoes.

Raphael was also a hard worker. He spent many of his years as a Maintenance Worker, where he retired from the University of Arizona at the age of 65.

Raphael’s family legacy will continue to live on through his family. He is deeply missed.

Raphael is preceded in death by his parents, his son: Paul Williams, daughter-in-laws: Jeanie Williams and Gretchen Williams, and his brother: George Williams.

He leaves to cherish in his memory, his beloved children: Gary Williams (Susan), Darlene Derry (James), and Ronald Williams; 11 grandchildren; and many great-grandchildren; his sister: Mary Dickson, and numerous other close relatives and friends.
