In Memoriam: Nathaniel Turhan Williams

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of our dear brother and avid program supporter Nathaniel Turhan Williams.  Nathaniel Turhan Williams joined the circle of the ancestors on June 10, 2009 after a brief illness at the age of 52. Memorial services were held on June 16 in Nashville, Tennessee and June 17 in Bethel Springs, Tennessee.

Nathaniel Turhan Williams affectionately known as “Nate” and “Tyrone” by his friends, was a gifted man of the spirit who was a carpenter, certified welder, visual artist, vocalist, athlete, and lover of people. He was fun-loving, compassionate, courteous, and made friends easily. He never met a stranger and was a loving son, brother, father, uncle, grandfather, and cousin.

His legacy of care, concern, and compassion for his fellow human beings will be continued in the efforts of the TEAMS Institute. Send your memorial donations to NAPAS at Youthbuild TEAMS Institute, 135 Bells Store Road, McKenzie, TN 38201.
