Racine – The Lord our God has saw fit to call His son back home to Him on the afternoon of February 3, 2020. TJ Williams received his golden wings and there is no more suffering or pain for our beloved.
TJ Williams was born on June 4, 1952 to the late George and Georgia (nee: Rogers) Williams in Shaw, Mississippi, he was one of fourteen children. TJ received his education at Eastside High School in Cleveland, Mississippi and professed at a young age his relationship with Christ as his Savior.
TJ met and married the love of his life Cora (nee: Young) Williams and to this union three sons were born. Their sense of humor complimented each other and they enjoyed traveling together visiting friends and relatives near and far. TJ adored his children and played a major role in their academics and sporting abilities; he was a great father and friend and was truly a family man. TJ was employed by Western Publishing, J.I. Case Corporation and Intermet all located in Racine, Wisconsin, after retirement he enjoyed life immensely. TJ enjoyed fishing and sports, he was always up for a good game of basketball until he just couldn’t play anymore. He loved cooking and eating good soul food. Playing with the grandchildren was one of his greatest joys in life, he also liked telling funny jokes that he would laugh at more than those listening. For 26 years TJ was a coach for Racine Youth Sports Organization where he coached football (The Raiders) and basketball. He was very compassionate and a good provider for his family. TJ came from a very close-knit family and enjoyed the company of his relatives and in-laws when the opportunity presented itself.
