Bobby Dean Williams, 75, passed away Sunday, May 11, 2025, at the New Mexico State Veteran’s Home. Bobby was born in Hatch, NM on September 8, 1949, to Robert K. Williams and Viola Deal.
A proud U.S. Navy veteran, Bobby dedicated himself to his country and his community throughout his life. After serving in the Navy, he worked as a truck driver. Bobby’s love for the open road was only rivaled by his passion for tinkering with cars and motorcycles, a hobby he enjoyed during his downtime.
When he wasn’t working or working on his next project, Bobby could often be found playing a competitive game of dominos with friends, or enjoying a round of pool or bowling. He loved spending time with his loved ones, making memories and enjoying the simple pleasures of life.
Bobby was preceded in death by his parents, Robert K. and Viola Williams. He is survived by his children- Steve Riddle (Pam) and Lori Tullio (Chris); grandchildren- Frank Luna and Alexis Luna; and siblings- Gerri Compton, Debbie Nethercott and Kenneth Williams.
Cremation has taken place, and services will be announced at a later date.
Bobby will be missed! He had quite the sense of humor! He loved dressing up for Halloween! He made a great Elvis! Bobby loved to laugh and make others laugh too. He also liked to cook and was great at it. He had a great smile and warm heart. I have lots of good memories in my heart of Bobby. Love to All his family and my sincere condolences.
