Brother Milton Jerome Williams, Sr. was born on February 7, 1954, in Camden, AR, to the late Melzonia and Gladys Williams. He transitioned from his earthly body on Saturday, August 3, 2024, at Ouachita Medical Center in Camden, Arkansas.

Milton, also known as "Mud Man and Mud Slanger" to his friends and family. His hobbies included hunting, fishing, camping, 4-wheeler riding, and cooking, which he declared himself the best. He taught his sons how to camp, fish and hunt at a very young age. He continued with these hobbies until his eyesight and health began to fail him. His favorite bible verse, Psalm 121:1-2 " I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth."

He united with Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church at an early age under the leadership of Rev W. M Bryant and continued his tenure under the leadership of Rev. J. H Hayes, Jr. He remained a faithful and active member until his health declined. He was preceded in the death by his father, Melzonia Williams; mother, Gladys Williams; sister, Melva Williams McKenzie; and son, Kenneth Dewayne Williams.

His memory will be cherished by his children, son Milton Williams, II "Tank" (Felcia) of Rison, AR; daughters Donna Williams (Donnie) of Bryant, AR; Temeke Butler (Allen) of Camden, AR, and Melanie Oglesby of Jacksonville, AR, granddaughter Diamond Blades of Bryant, AR and grandson, Kameron Graham Williams of Magnolia, AR, niece, Chandra Marks of Hot Springs, AR, and a host of other nieces, nephews, cousins and friends, especially the Watkins, Wesley, and Strickland family.

God saw that you were getting tired, you were sick for so many years. So, he put his arms around you and whispered, "come go with me." We watched you suffer, and saw you fade away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. As we stood by your bedside and watched your vitals slowly dropped, we whispered to you, "it's okay to go daddy, go take your rest". A strong fighter you were, you took your last two breaths and your heart stopped beating. We have peace knowing that you are no longer suffering, and now able to walk and see. Take your rest daddy, we love you, Tank, Donna, Meke, Melanie, Kameron, and Diamond.
