Jon Jay Williams was born on June 24, 1960, in Friendship, to Robert L. and Shirley J. (Wenzel) Williams. He was raised and received his education in the Adams/Friendship area. After schooling, Jon began driving truck, and drove for several companies over the years. He was united in marriage to Fran (Hacker) Wendt on Oct. 27, 1997, at Paul’s Lutheran Church in Thorp. Due to poor health, Jon retired and resided in Thorp until his death.
He had many interests including camping, four-wheeling, hunting, shooting guns, classic cars and riding the Harley with his wife. He especially loved spending time with his family, just being a family man.
Anyone who knew Jon knew he always told you just the way it was and admired him for his humor and goodwill: a God-fearing man.
Jon will be dearly missed by his wife, Fran, of Thorp; their children: Robert (Cindy) Evers of Dorchester, Jon Jr. (Heather) Williams of Thorp, Mindy (Alberto) Yates of Houston, Texas, Ashlyn (Seth) Krings of Wisconsin Rapids, Coty Evers of Fall Creek, Curtis Wendt (Kiana Walters-Williams) of Pulaski, Kayla Williams (Blake Reid) of Cadott, Allison (Marcus) Phillips of Green Bay and Monica (Edgar) Gutierrez of Ewa Beach, Hawaii; 24 grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; two brothers: Kirk Williams (Gail Bryant) of Sorrento, Fla., and Robert Williams of Adams; and nieces, nephews, step-siblings, other relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by his father and stepmother: Robert (Charlotte) Williams; his mother and stepfather: Shirley (Lee) Lang; his sister: Sandi Turenne; and grandson, Adrian Williams.
