Kadan Andrew Williams

2 Timothy 4:7 "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith"

Kadan Andrew Williams, 16 year old son of Michael and Katie Floyd Williams, passed away peacefully at home on Friday evening, December 8, 2023, and entered eternity to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

Born in Royston on Mother’s Day Sunday, May 13, 2007, Kadan opened his eyes for the first time and saw the face of his beautiful mother and immediately became Mama’s boy. Katie was always there for Kadan and they shared an enduring love for one another. Michael, fondly called “Daddy”, was a devoted and loving father. 

In addition to his parents, he is survived by two young brothers whom he adored: James Gracin and Michael Shane; grandparents: Shane and Billie Floyd and Gary and Melanie “Missy” Williams; great-grandmothers: Ann Floyd and Martha Lutz; and special uncle, Matt Floyd whom Kadan loved as a brother. He also leaves behind his girlfriend, Lizzie Mearkle, who lovingly stayed at his side until he drew his last breath. He is preceded in death by his great-grandfathers: Larry Floyd, James E. Williams, James L. Williams, and John Lutz, Sr; and great-grandmothers: Billie Jean Hansford and Shirley Williams.  

He was a student at Elbert County Comprehensive High School and a member of Bethlehem Methodist Church. A natural comedian, Kadan had a wonderful sense of humor. He truly cared about people and would listen to what they had to say. Kadan was a smart and deep thinker who always had a positive attitude and didn’t want anyone worrying about him. He never let hard times keep him from enjoying life. Some of the things he enjoyed most were chess, video games, music, swimming, wrestling, driving his truck, comics, drawing, backyard basketball, being with Lizzie, vacations at the beach, and being with his family and friends. Kadan gave the best hugs and never missed an opportunity to let you know how much he loved and cared for you.

Kadan will lie instate on Thursday, December 14, from 10:00a.m. - 5:00p.m. at Berry Funeral Home for those wishing to pay their respects and sign the guestbook.
