It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Thomas Williams, affectionately known to many as Tallboy or Brother, who transitioned from this life on March 25, 2025, at the age of 85. Born on May 14, 1939, Thomas was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. His kindness, laughter, and larger-than-life spirit will be profoundly missed by all who knew him.
Thomas was predeceased by his loving wife Imogene Yasper-Williams, as well as his mother Margaret Williams and father Hilton Williams. He leaves behind a large, loving family, including his step-daughter Janice John and step-sons Keithroy, Heskitt, Darryl, and Darwen John. His legacy also lives on through his 17 step-grandchildren and 5 step-great-grandchildren, whose lives were brightened by his presence.
A proud member of a large family, Thomas is survived by his brothers Theadore, Johnny, Fixroy, James, Joseph, and Eddie, as well as his sisters Geraldine, Rosemarie, Aloma, Janny, and Piggot. He also leaves behind 55 nieces and nephews who held him in great affection.
Thomas’ circle of love and support extended far beyond his immediate family. He had cherished friendships that were built on trust, respect, and a shared sense of joy. He was deeply close to his special friends, including Ms. Rita Division, Nurse Cynthia Salcedo (Broward Health North Florida), Shermaine Hopkins (Florida), and Stephanie Maxwell, as well as the devoted members of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, where he was a beloved participant. His generous and giving spirit touched the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Thomas was a man of great faith, and his love for his family and community was a guiding light throughout his life. His humor, gentle nature, and profound sense of loyalty will forever remain in the hearts of his loved ones.
While Thomas’ physical presence will be deeply missed, his spirit will continue to inspire those who carry his memory forward. A celebration of his life will be held at a later date. His family asks that all who knew him come together in love and remembrance.
A funeral service will be held on April 15, 2025, at Divine Funeral Services and Crematory Chapel. The viewing will begin at 10:00 AM, followed by the service at 11:00 AM.
