Thank you It is with great sadness that we share the unexpected tragic loss of our beloved, John Williams Jr., age 57, of Monclova, Ohio.  He was born in Toledo, Ohio on September 20, 1957 to John and Evelyn (Davenport) Williams.   John was a successful businessman who created John Williams Painting in 1980. He took great pride in the fact that he cared about and put 100% dedication and effort into every job that he had. John had the biggest and most forgiving heart. He would often take back and forgive people with open arms and a heart full of love.   John enjoyed many outdoor activities such as fishing and snowmobiling. He also loved the Michigan Wolverines and would attend as many games as he could each season. John recently restored a 1970 Corvette, one of his prized possessions. You would frequently see him driving it around town with a smile on his face. His greatest joy and happiness in life however, came from being reunited, after more than 30 years, with the love of his life. Christine and John were married on June 28, 2012. Though their time together was brief, theirs was truly a love story that few people will ever get the chance to enjoy.   John will be greatly missed by his wife, Christine (Delles); children, April, Bethany, and John (Savannah) Williams, and granddaughter, Isabella whom he adored and loved spending time with, stepchildren Caitlyn and Matthew DeLauter. John also leaves to cherish his memory his mother, Evelyn; brothers Jeff and Chris (Rayetta) and sister Dawn (Randy) Hillary as well as many nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his father, John; brothers, Tom and Tim and his grandparents. John was always the life of the party and will be greatly missed by many friends including his special canine friend, Boomer.   Family and friends will be received at Maison-Dardenne-Walker Funeral Home, 501 Conant Street, Maumee on Sunday, February 1, 2015 from 2:00 PM until 8:00 PM with a scripture service at 7:00 PM.  Prayers will begin at the funeral home at 10:00 AM on Monday, February 2, 2015 with the Funeral Mass celebrated at 10:30 AM at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 104 W.
