Leon was the first friend I was ever able to have of the opposite sex on the phone. I just remember the stories we would share with one another growing up and plans we wanted to accomplish as we faced adulthood. Leon was very kind to me and was very motivating. Im glad I got to have him in my life growing up and I will hold on to his memories. 

My name is Ricky Presley,
I'm just finding out my friend my play son Leon Williams is gone on to be with our
Heavenly father.He's been on my mind for the past few months. I have tried calling
him many time's. God put on my mind too Google my boy! Help me Jesus
                                                                                       Ricky Presley ( Los Angeles, CA)

I'm so saddened by your loss. I have known you for a handful of years and grew to love you and your mother. I will miss our serious conversations or the advice I would give you. You were a good friend. Rest now!

Jessica, no words  I can say can express comfort to the grief you must be feeling. Though I never met Leon, your smile, when  talking about him, lit up the room. Your Wilson colleagues are here for you. Please reach out. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your family and Leon's family.  Connie Jackson

Leon was my best friend, my beloved and fiancé. He was my husband and I was his wife. It was truly amazing to have met and known such a King. I was his Queen and we had plans of traveling the world, having a beautiful family and conquering one business after another. Leon was a great father and mentor to his now 6 year old son, a wonderful son to his beautiful mother and a genuine, heartless man who cared for his friends and family. He had such an amazing spirit, could captivate any crowd and always stayed strong mentally, physically and emotionally especially when times were hard. He could always provide a way when there was none and would tell me that I was his light in the dark. He was a man of such wealth and knowledge. He touched so many people in this world through his teachings, energy and spirit and had hands that healed the hurt and broken.

Leon is still with us in spirit and although there is deep and painful sorrow in my heart and in the hearts of those who had his best interest at heart I want us all to remember that he would want us to stay strong and celebrate the life that he lived. Leon had a lot of dreams and beautiful ambitions, I will be setting out to fulfill some of those closest to his heart with the help and support of his friends and family. It is unfortunate and very sad to say that on Christmas Day he was terribly wounded, on New Years Day he took his last breathe holding my hand and looking into my eyes as I sat by his side and today I'm signing his guest book for his orbituary on all days, his birthday.  

As we had begun to establish our holiday traditions, for Christmas he shared with me some beautiful words that I'd like to share with everyone. They read as so, "For my Wife: I Love You for your good heart and all the ways you make me laugh. For your honesty, your encouragement and for being my truest closest friend. I Love You my Jessica Williams for how you've made my life better than it could have ever been without you. Without you my world would cave! My Love grows deeper as I understand our connection, the growth is impeccable and we will be just fine. Simply said, I Love You with all my heart for always. Merry Christmas! Love your Hubby; Leon Williams."

Lord Jesus Heavenly Father, we come to you in prayer on this day, what would have been Leon's 29th birthday, asking that you heal the broken hearts and provide peace to the sorrows to all of us that loved, cared for and befriended my husband - your son and new angel Leon. God through your son Jesus Heavenly Father I ask that you provide comfort to us all that have lost such an amazing friend, father and brother. I ask God through your son Jesus Christ that you welcome Leon into your gates and use him to do your work and teach us the many blessings that were engraved on his heart and that your Will be done Lord God through your son Jesus Christ. We thank you, we Love You and have cherished the time we have all been able to share with Leon during his walk on this earth. We will see him again soon in spirit, through our dreams and when you call us to your pasture. In Lord Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Leon is joining his twin and brother Deon who passed away in the hospital at 6.5 months of life to a very similar ailment of his intestine. He is at peace and free now and if he was here he would be so happy to see all those whose lives he effected and all those he was able to bring together in Love, Family, Friendship and Fellowship. 

Thank you all so much for your Love, Thoughts and Prayers. We Thank You. 

R.I.P 1.1.17 @ 4:52PM CST my Love, Til we meet again,

Your beloved, best friend and wife Jessica D. Williams.
