Robert Paul Williams

Ithaca, NY June 2, 1985 – May 17, 2019 Age 33

Robert P. "Bobby" Williams, age 33, of Ithaca, NY, passed away Friday, May 17, 2019, at Strong Memorial Hospital, Rochester, NY, surrounded by his family.

Born June 2, 1985, in Ithaca, NY, he was raised by grandparents, Arlene Williams and the late Roger Gardner. Prior to graduating from Lansing High School, Bobby was a wrestler, played football and track and field; later he became a golfer with his grandfather. Bobby was very outgoing, funny, a bright spirit, the life of the party, and hard-headed (LOL). He was always willing to help someone in need either by doing or knowing someone who could help. Bobby was very family-oriented, a loving father who always put his children first, a good brother, and a great uncle.

Bobby is survived by his grandmother, Arlene Williams of Groton, NY; father, Douglas Williams of Syracuse, NY; children, Brennan, twins, Chase and Alden, Kameron, Jackson, Aliyah, and Bella; sisters, Jessica (Richie) Bower of Groton, NY, and Amber Williams of Ithaca, NY; uncles, Glenn (Kathy) Williams of Louisville, KY, and Greg Williams of Groton, NY; aunt, Debbie Campbell of Spencer, NY; girlfriend, Chelsea Kuss; and aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends.
