Michael “Mike” Leslie Williams Sr., 72, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 9, 2026. Born in Goodlettsville on April 19, 1954, Mike was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Marilyn Williams; his mother, Annie Lee Williams; his father, Eugene Howell Williams Sr.; and his brother, Eugene Howell Williams Jr.

Mike was a devoted father to his children, Crystal and Michael, and a loving husband to Marilyn, whom he cherished deeply. He found his greatest joy in spending time with his children and grandchildren, especially cheering them on at sporting events and being present for every important moment in their lives.

Known for his kind heart and willingness to help others, Mike was happiest when he was fixing things around the house, lending a hand to family and friends, or tending to the garden flowers he lovingly cared for in memory of Marilyn. He lived a life centered on family, hard work, and putting others before himself, and he will be remembered for his warmth, generosity, and steady presence.

He is survived by his children, Crystal Frederick, Michael Williams Jr. and his wife Marcie; and his cherished grandchildren, Christian Frederick and his wife Desiray, Johnathan Frederick, Mikayla Frederick, Easton Williams, and Landon Williams.

A visitation for Mike will be held at Cole & Garrett Funeral Home and Cremation Services on Friday, May 22, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. A Celebration of Life service will begin at 12:00 p.m., followed by interment at Beech Grove Cemetery.
