Ronnie “Rowdy” Williams

Ronnie "Rowdy" Williams met Jesus face to face on August 13, 2021.

Dear Rowdy,

Your parents have shared you with us through their memories—and what a bright, unforgettable light you are.

They tell us you were a friend to everyone you met. Even as a little guy, you’d walk right up with that big ol’ grin, hand out, ready to make someone feel welcome. That kind of kindness—the kind that comes naturally, effortlessly—that’s a rare gift. And you had it in abundance.

You were no stranger to hard work. Whether you were apprenticing as an electrician, wrangling at the Huntsville Exotic Sale, working as a farrier, or roping on the side—you did it all with grit, pride, and heart. You lived full-throttle, grounded in family and fueled by joy.

Your sister Bailey misses you every single day—her best friend, her partner in crime. And your mom and dad, Catherine and Ronnie, carry the weight of your absence in every breath. There’s no pretending life is the same. It’s not. Losing you has left a space that no one else could ever fill.

You were taken far too soon—killed by a careless driver on Highway 75. It should never have happened. But what your parents want most of all is for the world to know who you were, not just how you died.

You were light. You were laughter. You were kindness in cowboy boots. And you are missed more than words can hold. We can't wait for our reunion in Heaven.

Until then...

Rowdy Williams, you are loved and never forgotten.

Much love,

Your First Touch Family
