Lenard Williams
Tupelo/ Eggville Community - Lenard Williams, 60, passed away Wednesday, September 20, 2017 at North Mississippi Medical Center. He was born January 10, 1957 to Elmer and Jettie Williams in Saltillo, Mississippi.
Lenard married Tammie Trexler October 21, 1994. He was a "jack of all trades" in his professions as a mechanic and a truck driver. Lenard loved his grandchildren, with much of his time spent with his little buddy, "Ozzy." He also enjoyed hunting, fishing, collecting antiques, working on his tractor and tending to his vegetable garden until his health declined. He was involved in a hunting club and restored weapons and vehicles, including a 1968 Camaro. Lenard was known as a man willing to lend a helping hand to a friend, with his final act of kindness being an organ donor.
