Roger Williams Obituary

It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved Roger Williams (Toronto, Ontario), who passed away at the age of 59, on February 21, 2025. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Roger Williams to show support.

He was predeceased by: his mother Joan Williams. He is survived by: his father Rawle Williams; his close friend Michelle; his brother Ian (Zaniffa); his nieces and nephews, Krystle, Amelia and Jameel; his sister Wendy (Richard); his nephew Jared; his niece Annie; his siblings, Dawne and Dale (David); his nieces and nephews, Renee (Brendan), Amanda (Dwayne), Alanna, Christopher (Jesteen) and Russell (Natalia); and also, Gabriella (Jeremy), Mikhail (Orisha), Natassia (Marvin), Jeanne-Arlette (N'dere) and Luna-Rose. He is also survived by seven grandchildren.

The pandemic of 2020 and ensuing loss of his job opened up a well desired opportunity to further his music industry studies and he enrolled later that year into Trebas Institute in Toronto, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude in Audio Engineering and Production/DJ Arts.

In lieu of flowers the family wishes to start a scholarship in Gerry's name, to be given to a young student pursuing higher education in the field of music, as part of the OLGC's Sr. Kathleen Jackman Scholarship awards.
