Timothy Coleman Williams, 64, of Opelika, AL, passed away peacefully on April 6, 2026. Born on October 27, 1961, Timothy was a graduate of Scott Prep Academy and a man whose life revolved around his deep love for family and his passion for carpentry.
Timothy was a devoted husband to his wife and best friend, Tammie Williams. Together, they built a life centered on love, family, and unwavering support for one another. He was the proud father of Patrick Williams (Talia), Peyton Williams (Isabel), and Jessica Williams. His family was his greatest joy, and he cherished every moment spent with them.
Timothy is also survived by his father Alton Williams (Renea); father Delyn Wilkerson (Sandra); brother Tracy Williams (Kathy); sisters Tiffany Wilkerson and Ramona Wilkerson (Brad); mother-in-law Ellen Tankersley; sisters-in-law Sandra Spikes (Michael) and Cindy Barr (Brian); nephews Trever Williams, Corey Freeman (Olivia), and Brian Barr Jr.; nieces Hannah Spikes and Hayden Spikes; and many other beloved relatives. He was predeceased by his mother Judy Williams and father-in-law Darryl Tankersley.
Known for his servant heart and boundless love, Timothy had an extraordinary ability to bring people together. He was the glue of the family, always ensuring that disagreements were resolved with understanding and unity. His carpentry skills were unmatched, and he found joy in creating with his hands, often covered in paint after hours in his shop. Timothy’s wisdom, humor, and steadfast presence left an indelible mark on all who knew him.
Visitation will be held at Jeffcoat-Trant Funeral Home on Friday, April 10, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. CST, followed by a service celebrating his life.
