Celebration of Life: 2:00 PM, Saturday, December 7, 2024, at Wiley Funeral Home Chapel, Glen Rose. Services under the direction of Wiley Funeral Home, Glen Rose.
Kenneth was born on February 11, 1949, in Glen Rose, Texas. He graduated in 1967 from Glen Rose High School. In 1972, he married the love of his life, Judy Osborn. They grew their family and remained in Glen Rose for the duration of their 52 year marriage. Kenneth worked for 35 years as a Manufacturer Designer/Planner for General Dynamics/Lockheed where he helped bolster the national defense industry through his work on multiple US fighter jets, including the F-16. He retired from Lockheed in 2004.
Kenneth had a passion for all green things and spent countless hours working on his yard and tending a garden, growing every vegetable imaginable. He helped build 5 family homes and took great pride in the upkeep of each. He was a man who could fix almost anything. He also enjoyed camping, hunting, fishing and spending time with his 3 grandchildren.
Kennth was preceded in death by his parents: Maxine (Moore) Sanders, John Sanders and Gene Williams; and his brother: Bobby Wiliams.
Kenneth was survived by his wife: Judy (Osborn) Williams, Children: Shay (Starnes) Gil, Jeff (Bridgett) Williams and Jedd (Becca) Williams, and Grandchildren: Brandon, TJ and Emily; Siblings: Jimmy (Lovella) Wiliams and Vicki (Charlie) Crisp, and several nieces and nephews.
In Lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, a cause very dear to Kenneth, at www.emilys-hope.org.
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m walking to help change that reality.
CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that devastates the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. CF makes it difficult to breathe and fight life-threatening infections, often leading to extensive lung damage and respiratory failure.
Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey and experiences this challenging disease differently. While progress has been made, a long road lies ahead for far too many people fighting this terrible disease. We need a cure so that everyone with CF has a better chance to live a long, healthy life.
Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
By donating to my fundraising goal, you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward – a cure for everyone with CF.
