Earl F. Williams

Earl Franklin Williams, age 81, passed away March 31, 2023. He was born December 24,
1941, in Sod, West Virginia to Frank and Gladys Williams. He grew up on the farm in Garrretts
Bend with two sisters, Erma and Betty. He was always loved and nurtured by a loving family
and kind neighbors. He helped raise tobacco on the farm and loved his job at Sunnydale School
sweeping the floors and keeping the wood-stove burning. He married his wife Barbara Williams
on his 20 th birthday and remained faithfully married for 61 years. He gave his life to the Lord at
the age of 28 and served in full-time ministry for 53 years.
He is proceeded in death by his loving wife Barbara, his parents, two sisters and two
great grandsons. He is survived by his sons Jeff and Mark Williams, grandchildren Chris, Cole
and Denette Williams, five great grandchildren, numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and
dear friends too numerous to mention but none the less loved.
Earl was a lover! He loved God first. He walked with God, talked with God, talked
about God, and served God. He devoted his life to God in ministry. He served in churches in
Wichita, Kansas; Conroe, Texas; and Merritts Creek, West Virginia. He served as an evangelist
for many years traveling in the Three Unusual Days Ministry. He also served as a missionary in
India, Philippine Islands, Hawaii and over 25 missions to the Ukraine. Only Heaven knows how
many thousands of souls were saved through his love and dedication to God. Earl loved People!
He loved his family and fiercely protected them. He loved his friends and threated them like
family. He genuinely cared about everyone, and his greatest desire was that they be saved, and
heaven be their home. And Earl loved life! He was always up for an adventure. He always lived
in the present, never in the past. He was fearless and full of faith. He preferred fellowship with
people, riding his motorcycle, or traveling to sitting still. When he did sit down, he always had a
book in his hand. His enormous library is a testimony to his desire to grow and explore new
horizons. He wanted to make the most out of every moment and he did. He had no regrets. He
lived life fully. His favorite salutation was, “Here, there or in the air and if I get there before you
do, I’m getting a group together in the northwest corner of Heaven!” He was homesick for
Heaven. Now his faith has become sight and his heart is satisfied. He was “just passing through.”
