“Even as we grieve, we know that love endures." Mr. Darryl Edward Williams was born on December 21, 1963, in Thomaston, Upson County, Georgia, to the parents of Sarah J. Matthews Williams and the late Charles E. Williams of Thomaston, GA. He was educated in the Upson County School System and really enjoyed playing basketball on the Upson High B Team. He graduated with the Upson High School class of 1982. During his childhood, Darryl received his life skills from his father, Charles Williams, as an auto mechanic; his carpentry skills from his neighbors, Mr. Buddy Evans and teacher, Mr. George Jennings; and his electrical machine repairing and commercial coolers maintenance from another neighbor, Mr. Junior Walker. Shortly after graduating from high school, Darryl moved to Atlanta, GA and was employed by Dobbs House Catering at the Atlanta Airport. For over ten years, he was employed as a mechanic for their refrigeration coolers. He later moved on to work as a facilities manager of several apartment complexes. He was an independent contractor repairing HVAC systems and performing carpentry and plumbing work. Recently he obtained his license as a home inspector for realtors. One of his most rewarding achievements was becoming a proud member of the New Direction Masonic Lodge No. 1086 AFAM. “How Great is you name, O Lord through all the earth." Psalm 8:1 Early Monday morning on September 6, 2021, the Lord decided it was time for Darryl to transition from labor to reward. He departed this earthly life and entered into eternal rest.
