William Russell Williams

William Russell Williams, of Eaton, Ohio, passed away on August 31, 2026, at the age of 58. He was born on June 21, 1968, in Richmond, Indiana.

Russell was a hard-working man who was dedicated to his craft. A jack of all trades, master of many, he was known especially for his work in plumbing, where his skill and steady commitment reflected the pride he took in what he did. He was someone who could often be found working, and that strong work ethic remained a defining part of his life. Outside of work, he loved dirt track racing, an interest that brought him enjoyment over the years.

Among the greatest joys of Russell’s life was the time he spent with his grandsons. He loved being with them, and those moments were among his proudest accomplishments and most cherished parts of his life.

Russell is survived by his daughter, Brooke (Phillip) Miller and grandsons, Wyatt and Elliott Miller, who brought him great happiness. He is also survived by his mother, Dora Williams; sisters, Ida Williams and Vickie Disborough; brothers, Leo Williams, Jr. and Jonsey Williams; and Toni Williams, the mother of his daughter; his beloved dog, Marley; along with numerous extended family members and friends. 

He was preceded in death by his father, Leo Williams; brother, Jimmy Williams; and his dog and companion, Malikai. 

Russell will be remembered for his dedication to work, his love of racing, and the pride he took in his family. His memory will remain with those who knew and loved him. A Celebration of Life will be held privately by the family to honor Russell.
