Memorial Services for Todd Truitt Williams of Tyler, TX will be held on Saturday, April 13, 2024, at 2 PM at Stewart Family Funeral Home with Pastor Bo Richardson of Rose Heights Church officiating. Visitation will begin one hour prior to the service. Todd Williams, 54, of Tyler, TX, went to be with the Lord on Monday, April 1, 2024. He was born on August 5, 1969, to Floyd and Ann Williams. Todd attended Arp Elementary School, Hope Christian School in Henderson, TX, and graduated in 1988 from Arp High School. During his junior year, he began working as a helper at LeBus Oilfield Service where he later became a CDL driver operating a high-pressure truck, and later began working in sales and as a salt water disposal operator. After two decades in the oilfield, Todd went to work as a CDL driver for Brookshires and eventually drove for the City of Tyler. However, his most rewarding job was driving for the East Texas Food Bank, where he worked for the last 6 years until his health declined in 2023. Todd grew up at Rose Heights Church of God and was active in the youth group and loved working in the puppet ministry for the children’s church. Later Todd and his family became members of the New Life Church of God in Tyler where he enjoyed participating in the men’s fellowship group. In December 1999, Todd married Teresa Leupen at Rose Heights Church of God in Tyler. The Lord blessed them with two sons, Johnathon and Noah, and most recently a grandson, Beau, born in November 2023. Todd loved connecting with old friends, teachers, family members, and co-workers with a text or quick phone call just to say hi. He loved telling jokes and watching funny videos. He loved his boys and taking them for rides in his work trucks. He enjoyed introducing them to WWE wrestling, trains, air shows, and monster truck shows. Todd collected Dr. Pepper and Dukes of Hazard memorabilia. Other than spending time with his family, he truly loved his job and all of his customers. Todd was preceded in death by his mother, Ann Williams and his maternal grandparents, Nelson and Glenice Blankenship and paternal grandparents, Floyd Williams and Margie Albarado. Todd is survived by his wife of 24 years, Teresa Williams; son, Johnathon and girlfriend Clarissa; son, Noah Williams; grandson, Beau Williams; father, Floyd Williams, Jr., and stepmother Wendie Williams; sister, Tara Lemmel and husband Chad Lemmel and nephew Liam; as well as beloved aunts, uncles, and numerous cousins.
