In Remembrance Of
Chris Williams
Christopher Wayne Williams was born on September 23, 1971, to Rickye Wayne and Patricia (Kempf) Williams in St. Joseph, MO. Chris grew up in the Gower area.
On June 12, 2004, he was united in marriage to Heather Dawn Herpel. They lived in Gower where they made their home and raised their children. Their life was a love story of dancing in the kitchen, adventures, and him striving to make her smile everyday.
Chris was a hardworking man of a million traits, there was nothing he couldn’t fix. He was a funny, loving, biggest smart ass with the biggest heart, best grandpa who loved fart jokes and silly nicknames kinda guy who loved singing in the shower, watching YouTube reels and making sure everyone was fed, even if it wasn’t on time. He was an avid mushroom hunter and a master gardener.
Chris was an amazing and loving husband, dad, papa, uncle, brother and son who catered to and showed up for every need. He was so loved and he loved so big and will be forever and always missed by all.
He was preceded in death by his father-in-law Ralph Herpel and his grandparents.
Chris is survived by his wife Heather Williams; his children Nick (fiancé Rylee) Kelley, Alec Williams and Ashlyn Williams; his grandchildren Kortlee and Miya; his parents Rickye Williams and Patricia Matson; his sister Kimberly (Matt) Stanich; his mother-in-law Jo Herpel; numerous in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins, other extended family and many friends.
