And the peace of God which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  Philippians 4:7

In life we have pleasures with our loved ones, we have sorrows and joy but thank God for the memories death cannot destroy.  For again, death has invaded the ranks of the Williams and Campbell families carrying away our beloved son, grandson, brother, nephew, cousin and friend-Demetrius De’Shone Williams.

As the sun sets and the days beauty fades away, Saturday, March 15, 2025, in the city of Benton Harbor, MI, God called our loving social butterfly-Demetrius De’Shone Williams home to rest, leaving us the reminder of the fleeting nature of time and the importance of cherishing every precious moment with family.   Demetrius was truly loved by all who met and knew him.  He was kind-hearted, loving, funny and loyal to those he loved.  Full of high energy, Demetrius enjoyed life to the fullest in his own way and always had a plan for his life.
