Samuel Leandrew Williams Jr., aged 67, passed away on November 16, 2024, in Chesapeake, Va. Born on December 18, 1956, Sam (Also known by many as “Skip”) was known for his larger than life laughter, his ability to work a room with his stories and smile, and his strong desire to live life on his own terms.

Samuel served in the Navy in 1974 at the age of 17, and if you knew him well you have probably heard the story of how he ended up there many times. In the next season of his life he stepped into a career in Auto body work and never looked back.

He was a man of many interests, including Going to the range, Fishing with friends and his brothers, and Sketching in his books in his free time. Skip also dove into his love for cars on a personal level through Antique car shows where he attended as a judge, a spectator, and a friend in support of others displaying antiques that he often helped work on or paint. Above all, he enjoyed time spent with his family.

Skip is survived by his daughters, Tashina Mora, Rashawna Brown, and Kirsten Norman; his ten grandchildren, who adored him lovingly as Papa; and his siblings. He was preceded in death by his parents, Alverta and Samuel L. Williams Sr., and his son, Brandon Salo.

A celebration of life will be planned by his children. Samuel's life and legacy will be honored in a manner befitting his memorable and impactful presence in the lives of those he touched.
