Zachary “Zack” David Price Williams

March 21, 1999 ~ May 15, 2019

ROCKY MOUNT - Zachary "Zack" David Price Williams, age 20, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Wednesday, May 15, 2019. Born in Edgecombe County, NC on March 21, 1999. He was predeceased by his maternal grandfather, Michael Davis; his paternal grandparents, Russell and Marianne Williams; Uncle, Brian Keith Moss. Zack enjoyed living life. He graduated from Rocky Mount Prep School in 2018. First and foremost, he loved his family. He always loved spending time with his nephew and his niece whenever he was able to. He had a love for animals and playing video games. Zack started to learn to cook and had an interest in attending culinary school in the future. He became a certified scuba diver and shared that love with his brother, Michael, his cousin Bailey Mathis and his Papa, Kim Barnes. Those memories will be forever cherished. He would do anything for you - but he would always expect a little grease in return. He enjoyed the little things in life such as Ramen Noodles, Chinese Food and Root Beer with no ice. He tricked his mom into buying him five pounds of gummy bears. Zack leaves behind to cherish his memory, his mother Tammy Williams, father, L. Brent Williams; and his step-father, Kevin Donovan, all of Rocky Mount; sister, Brittany Williams of Spring Hope; brother, Michael McBride and his wife, Kellie and his loving nephew and niece, Greyson and Katelynn all of Nashville; Zack's maternal grandmother Phillis "MeMa" Barnes and her husband, Kim of Rocky Mount.

  1. Tammy, Brent & Family Rod and I are so sorry about Zach. He was such a sweet young man and we were blessed to have him as a cousin and to call him family. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you guys so much. Please let us know if there is anything we can do. Love you all, Kim & Rod

  2. Brent, we are so sorry for your loss. I know the loss of a child. You and family will be in our prayers. God Bless!

  3. I never had the honor of getting to know Zachary, but I’ve know his mother for what seems like a lifetime. I know thru Tammy that he was a cherished young man and her memories of him will sustain her and the rest of his family until they meet again in heaven. Zachary, you hold down the fort up there until your Mama leaves this earth and joins you. You know when she gets there it will be a party up in heaven! To the family and friends of Zachary, know that he is in a beautiful place and smiling down on you all. To Tammy, I love you so much and I’m so sorry that Zach was taken too soon!

  4. Sending you all my love in your time of need. Zach will be missed but he will remain in our hearts.

  5. What a good young fellow. I’m gonna miss watching him grow into a man. Lost my nephew and a buddy. Zack enjoyed going with us to see his grandmother in the nursing home and never complained a minute. Loved him.

  6. My son Kerrell played football with Zack. He was such an awesome young man. He encouraged his teammates and offered to help in any way he could. Our deepest sympathy and prayers to your family.

  7. Thank you for bringing so much happiness in a world that is so painful. Please rest easy, you deserve it boss.

  8. Brent and family, we have no words to ease your pain but please know we pray for comfort and healing for you each day. Our thoughts are with you.

  9. Zachary was a good friend. Whenever hardship came his way, he had a sense of humor about it. He would never let anything dampen his spirits and he inspired me to do the same. He will be greatly missed.

  10. We may not have been friends at the beginning of middleschool but later on we did become close. You were the one who taught me that no matter what hurtful things people say to me, just act like they didn’t say anything at all. You have my sincerest condolences, Rest in Peace my man.

  11. Zack was nothing but a brother to me not just a friend. I spent all last night thinking about all the funny and fun things we did back in high school. I am going to miss him so much.

  12. Zack will and always has been on of my closest friends. He was more than a friend. He was family. Never a dull moment when he was around. He enjoyed playing video games together with us, and had passion in the things he worked for. When he told us about his job, I was excited! He was getting closer to becoming the man we all knew he would become. Although he acted tough, he had a kind heart, and really cared deep down. Zack wasn’t mean, but brutally honest. He became one of my friends early in middle school. He will forever live in my memories as the guy with the rockstar hair and blunt attitude. Thank you Zack for the laughs and arguments. May you Rest In Peace.

  13. My prayers of comfort are with you! I love you and ask God to wrap his arms around the family.

  14. I just want to tell you that I love you one more time and thanks for being a wonderful, crazy and one of a kind friend that I never thought I would have throughout middle school and through high school and even after when we graduated you will be truly missed you will always be in our hearts no matter what.

  15. Brent, Tammy and Family, Zach was always such a big help to me. I knew that if I ever needed help, I could call him and he’d come. Regardless if it was helping me clean out a closet, bring Christmas decorations down from the attic or sitting with me at a doctor’s appointment, all I had to do was ask. I will always miss him. He will live on in my heart forever. Love always, Aunt Kay

  16. Brent and Tammy I am sorry for your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. May God bless your family and heal your hearts. Sincerely, Martha Oakley Parker
