Allen's obituary
Lynn Allen Williams
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lynn “Allen” Williams on June 17, 2024, at the age of 69. Allen was a beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, and a cherished friend to many. Born on August 27, 1954, in Dallas, Texas, Allen lived a life full of love, kindness, and dedication.
Allen is survived by his beloved sons, Danny Williams of North Richland Hills and Nicholas Williams of Huntsville, Texas; his sister Carol Rippa and her husband Herb of San Antonio, Texas; his brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law Scott and Stephanie Maddox of Texarkana, Texas, and Stephen and Renee Morris of Roger, Arkansas; along with numerous nieces, nephews, and friends. He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Sharon Cobb Williams; his parents, Gilbert and Ruth Williams, and his sister, Judy Williams Davault.
Allen was known for his compassion for children and adults with disabilities. He was an avid fan of all the “super kids” in his life and supported the group by that name that he and his wife, Sharon, started when their son, Danny, was a toddler. His love of sailing, fishing trips with the guys, the Dallas Cowboys, the Texas Rangers and Rock N Roll and Blues music was well known by all his friends and family. He and Sharon had a deep love for animals, especially the less fortunate ones, and fostered many.
Allen’s wishes were to be cremated and a celebration of his life will be held in September. In lieu of flowers, may we suggest a donation in Allen’s name to one of the following or to the charity of your choice.
