Stanford Felix Williams

December 12, 1957 - July 10, 2022

Stanford Felix Williams went to be with the Lord on July 10, 2022 with his family by his side at the age of 64. Born on December 12, 1957 in Baton Rouge, he was raised in Kentwood and eventually moved to Mandeville where he would live for 33 years. He was preceded in death by his parents, James Lathan Williams and Wanzie Williams, his grandparents Felix Sharkey and Daisy Sharkey, his sister, Pamela Williams McBride, and uncles Earl Ray Sharkey and wife Betty, and Bobby Sharkey of Amite.

He is survived by his wife, Constance Ray Williams, her two sons Austin and Mitchell Davies. Son Chad Williams and wife Kaela Williams of Baton Rouge, and Chad’s mother Linda Foto and husband Gary of Covington. Brothers James Lathan Williams, Jr. and wife Wendy of Plaquemine, and Gary Williams and wife Renee of Baton Rouge. Nephews James Lathan Williams III and wife Gwen of Walker, Derrick Williams and wife Ashley of Denham Springs, Zach Williams and wife Cecily of Houston, TX, and niece Chloe Pruitt and husband Daniel of Prairieville. Two grandchildren, Liam and Lawson Williams of Baton Rouge. Aunts Julee Harper and husband Doug of Baton Rouge, and Vicki Sharkey of Amite, uncle Harrell Young Sharkey and wife Susie of Kentwood, along with many other cousins and extended family members that he truly loved.

Stan lived life to the fullest, never lacking passion with anything he did. He graduated from Spring Creek High School in 1977, and by 1986 was president of what would become Professional Auto Engines that is still in operation today. Family was everything to Stan, and one of his greatest joys was working on his 20 acre property in Mandeville where he set the utmost example of hard work and perseverance. He would never be out-worked, and he would also never be out-played. He and family traveled all over the country for nearly 20 years racing karts and cars, and he never missed an opportunity to teach someone how to do something the right way. He was always ready to host a party to celebrate a wedding, engagement, or birthday, and it was always to celebrate someone else. He was the epitome of selflessness, and would always go above and beyond for the ones he loved. He was an incredible husband, and father, and Paw-Paw to Liam and Lawson. He will be greatly missed, and always remembered.

2 Timothy 4:7 “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
