Eddy LeRoy Williams

Eddy LeRoy Williams aka “Fast Eddy” returned to God on January 22, 2025 due to terminal COPD and heart disease. He was an alcoholic and drug addict most of his life which caused him to need assisted care. His last years and days were spent on hospice at Bellview Valley Nursing Home under the care of many nurses and techs. Two of his favorites were Donna and Makayla. Eddy was born November 24, 1959, to Carolann Fellenz and Melvin Eugene Williams. He dropped out of high school but received his GED and joined the Navy where he was later discharged. Eddy had a love for living the fast life and loved to party. He enjoyed riding Harleys and hustling people for money playing pool. He was outstanding with a pool stick and emptied many pockets. His perverse sense of humor always had you laughing and he had many great stories to tell. He loved to barbeque regardless of rain, snow, sleet, or hail. He often did this with a Busch beer in hand. In his spare time, he also enjoyed watching NASCAR, WWE wrestling, and playing board games. A motorcycle wreck caused him to be physically disabled in 1989 but before that, was a jack of all trades working in construction and doing ironwork. Eddy married Cara Lynne Rose in 1990, and that same year had his only biological child, Lucinda Williams. Cara and he were married for 5 years and ultimately divorced, but Cara remained the love of his life until his death. Their connection was infinite. Cara stuck by Eddy during his last moments, giving him compassion and love that transcended transgressions. He wasn’t perfect but we loved him anyway. During his sober years in the nursing home, we were able to mend many strained parts of our relationships with him and made many new loving memories. We are so very thankful for the additional years God gave him with us and that we were able to forgive him. Eddy was preceded in death by his mother, Carolann Smith (Fellenz), stepfather William “Bud” Smith, father Melvin Eugene Williams, and lifetime friend and Godfather to his daughter Kenneth “Kenny” Long. Survivors include his stepmother Ruthann (Manion) Williams, ex-wife Cara Williams, daughter Lucinda Williams and partner Franklin Barr, stepsons Jason Mercer, William “Billy” Benge, and Quintin Riis, sisters Lugene Watts, Shelley Williams, Dana Clark, Wendy Perez, and Shannon Pichotta, and brothers Dean Williams & Melvin Williams Jr. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and friends made along the way. No services are being held at this time. Eddy will be cremated and buried at a later date in the Sullivan IOOF cemetery with his ex-wife Cara.
