OBITUARY   RONALD REESE WILLIAMS, III October 3, 2001 - June 28, 2025 Ronald Reese Williams III, age 23, passed away unexpectedly in his sleep at home on June 28, 2025. Reese was born on October 3rd, 2001, in Plano, TX, to Ronnie and Katie Williams. He was raised in Carrollton, TX, where he discovered an early love for football, and, later, a passion for skateboarding - especially longboarding. He graduated from Hebron High School in 2020, finishing a full semester early. While in school, Reese was a proud member of JROTC and developed a strong interest in serving in the Navy. After graduation, he jumped into the workforce with incredible drive and determination, often holding down multiple jobs at once. Reese worked for Lithia Motors in Frisco, TX, for over two and half years before moving on to MET International in Farmers Branch, TX, where he continued to demonstrate his dedication and strong work ethic. He also had a strong entrepreneurial spirit, often attending seminars focused on personal growth and development, finance, real estate, and mortgages. On the side, he and a partner assisted elderly homeowners who were at risk of losing their homes due to unpaid taxes - helping them navigate difficult situations with care and compassion. In the years following high school, Reese found joy and discipline in physical fitness. He committed himself fully, often spending hours at the gym after long days at work. Above all, Reese was a gentle soul with a kind and compassionate heart. He deeply valued his relationships with family and friends, and his presence lit up every room he entered. He loved traveling with those close to him and found joy in exploring new places - from the energy of New York City and Las Vegas to the charm of New Orleans and the beaches of Galveston. Reese is survived by his loving parents, Ronnie and Katie Williams, his grandparents, Ron Sr. and Candy Williams, Scott and Maria Smith; Tish Smith; his aunts and uncle, Melissa Cooper, Anna and Michael Leon; and his cousins, Tristan Cooper, and London Leon.
