Willard E. Williams, Jr. (52), of Kingston, New York, was called back home to be with the Lord on June 14th, 2023, surrounded by many loved ones. Willard, affectionately known as "Foot", was born to Willard (Sr) and Bertha Mae Williams, on April 15, 1971, at Kingston Hospital.

Foot was a very talented and charismatic man who had the most infectious laugh and gave great hugs. He enjoyed writing and reciting poetry, cooking, and cutting hair. He was a jack of all trades, but most importantly, he mastered the gift of making people laugh. One thing about Foot, if you knew him, you would have a hilarious story to go with his memory. Foot touched many lives from Kingston, NY to Kingston, Jamaica. He was a master at meeting individuals from different places, making them feel seen and heard; and always left smiles along the way. He truly never met a stranger.

Foot is survived by his parents; Bertha Mae Williams, and Willard E. Williams Sr. of Kingston, NY, his brother Kareem Williams of Kingston, NY, his sister, Seketha Williams of Phoenix, AZ, his three children; Antoine Smith of Phoenix, AZ, Andrea' Smith Sr. Of Kingston, NY, and Ravin Williams of Kingston, NY, and his grandchildren; Aviyonna Smith, Adiyanna Smith, Anyesa Smith, Julianna Brown, Alani Smith, Aniaya Smith, Armonie Smith, Andrea' Smith Jr., Amirre Smith, his godmother, Lottie F. Knox of Kingston, NY, along with a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins galore.

Foot was welcomed into Heaven by his youngest sister, Tomarra Williams, his maternal grandparents Ola Mae Knox and Robert Lee Knox and his paternal grandparents Marion Reid and Willard Julius Williams.
