COOKEVILLE CHAPEL - Mr. Garry A. Williams, Sr. passed away peacefully on September 21, 2024, in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Born on December 15, 1939, in Cumberland County, Tennessee, Garry's life was characterized by his dedication to his family, his service to his country, and his love for the simple joys in life.

Garry was the cherished son of the late Haskel "Dow" Williams and Mattie "Pearl" Wilbanks Williams. His journey through life was shared with his siblings, the late Richard Dow Williams and Donnie Williams, and his sister Myra Burton. His legacy continues through his loving family, including his daughter, Kelly, and her husband Jeff Wilson of Goodlettsville, TN; his sons, Garry Williams, Jr., and his wife Amy of Van Buren, Arkansas, and Mitch and his wife Melanie Williams of Bowling Green, KY. His grandchildren, Max Wilson, Tyson Wilson, Dustin Williams, Walker Williams, Chryssa Williams, and Jacoda Williams, brought immense joy to his life, as did his great-grandchildren, Cody Shane Drywater, Johnnie Faye Allart, Collier Williams, and Campbell Williams.

After graduating from Algood School in the class of 1957, Garry proudly served his country in the United States Army. His strong work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit led him to become the owner of Garry Williams & Sons trucking company. His days were often spent on the road, hauling cattle, or tending to his farm. Garry's commitment to his community was evident through his active membership at Hillvue Heights Church in Bowling Green, KY, where he forged many lasting friendships.
