My memories are what I have left,

and a lesson I will not forget.

The time has come when time is no more

and all that's left was once before.

The memories so dear and true,

those memories of me and you.

Although we fell and stumbled at times,

all those hills were necessary climbs.

All the times when your heart shined through

are the greatest memories I have of you.

I will always remember you, brother of mine.

In my heart I will keep you, so I will be fine.

I will go forward with my head up high.

It might be hard, I cannot lie.

But in my heart you will be,

moving forward, you with me.

Eugene, you will forever be remembered and

loved!

Your Sister,

Gwen

Brother Eugene

Williams

Life Reflections For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them

also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

(1Thessalonians 4:14)

Brother Eugene Williams, the eldest son of the late Elder

Jesse Williams, Jr., and Missionary Bernestine Fields Williams,

and the grandson of the late Deacon Amos Fields, Sr., and

the late Mrs. Jannie McCray Fields, was born on February 8,

1943.

He attended Carver High and Elementary School, Douglas,

Georgia, and later joined the U. S. Army. He was a two-

time Vietnam Veteran. Eugene also worked in various job

capacities (welding, food processing, railroad, agriculture,

and farming).

Eugene was a member of Saints Temple COGIC during his

early years of life. In later years, he became a member of

Sword & Shield Ministries under the leadership of his

younger brother, Elder Jesse Williams, III.

After the demise of his brother/pastor, Eugene’s memory of

being brought up in the church helped him to realize the

importance to continue to be in church and the necessity

of having a church home and a pastor; therefore, he chose

Bethlehem Temple COGIC for his new church home on

January 1, 2019, during “Watch Night Service.”

He was preceded in death by four brothers: Willie Frank

Williams, Lawrence “Bud” Merritt, Warren James Williams,

Sr., Elder Jesse Williams, III, and one sister: Nelerine

(Hessie/Sister) Merritt.

Eugene leaves a devoted sister, Gwendolyn Annette

Anthony (Rev. James Anthony, Jr.), Douglas, GA, to mourn

and cherish his precious memories. He leaves two sons:

Richard Eugene Williams, and Jesse James Williams; Three

grandchildren: Ciara, Sage, and Xavier; one sister-in-law,

Dorothy Williams, Douglas, GA; a very special friend, Mattie

M. Zackery, Clinton, MD; (nephews) Warren James

Williams, Jr. (Mary) and Henry L. Williams, Douglas, GA;

Jerome Johnson, Broxton, GA; Calvin Smith, Douglas, GA, a

very special nephew, and personal barber, Emanuel

Williams (Sharon), Douglas, GA; Irvin Collins (Miriam),

Kaisers Lautern, Germany; Javon Collins (Jodi), Rancho

Cucamonga, CA; Mack Anthony (Chanelle), Annapolis, MD;

Clyde Anthony (Alma), Atlanta, GA; (nieces) Ora Lee “Pam”

Daniels, Dawson, GA; Martha Nell Gifford (Terry), Douglas,
