Karsten Andrew Ryley Williams was called home to the Lord at age 22 on August 26th, 2023. He was preceded in death by his grandfather Billy Weissend and his sister-in-law Brittni Gray. Ryley is survived by his father Buck Williams, his mother Brandy Weissend, wife Sierra Roddam and their three children Bentleigh, Karsten, and E.V. Williams, his siblings Michael Gray (wife Kandice), Brandon Gray (wife Brandi), Dustin Williams (wife Andrea), Courtni Williams (husband Ryan), Destini Williams (husband Zac), and a host of nephews and nieces who are proud to call him Uncle Ry.
Today we celebrate the life of Karsten Andrew Ryley Williams. For those of us that got to know Ryley closely, it was abundantly clear that he was simply one-of-a-kind. Ryley loved to live life to its fullest and wanted the people around him to do the same. He always took advantage of any opportunity to pick up a guitar and bring the people around him closer together with music. Especially his children. Ryley had many passions, but none greater than the love he held for his three beautiful children Bentleigh, Karsten, and E.V. and their mother Sierra. In fact, the only thing that could make watching Alabama football any better for Ryley was to watch it with his kids in his lap and Sierra in his arms. While we may feel Ryley has been called home much to soon, we will trust in the Lord with all our hearts, and lean not unto our own understanding. Ryley certainly learned to rely heavily on God’s provision and wisdom as he was raising his three precious children, and there’s no doubt that he would share with us everything God had done for him and that we should do the same. We love you and we miss you Ryley.
