Christian Michael Williams
November 22, 1979 – August 01, 2019
It is with the deepest sadness we announce the passing of Christian Michael Williams of West Chezzetcook on August 1st, 2019 at the age of 40. Known to many as Chris or Willy, he was born in Halifax, NS and was the son of Elizabeth Anne Marie and Robert Francis Joseph Williams. He is survived by his children Elizabeth, Vincent and Sophia; wife Donna Taker; parents Elizabeth and Robert; Sister Brenda Potvin; his brother Stephen (Tracey); brother Colin as well as many nieces and nephews.
Chris was deeply loved by his family and enjoyed spending time with his nieces and nephews. He took pride in being an uncle, especially since he grew up alongside them, teaching them about video games on the Saga Genesis, and being a hide and seek master. He grew up and followed in his father’s footsteps by joining the Royal Canadian Navy, having done many deployments, and having received a medal for the earthquake relief in Haiti, the general campaign star, and the UN medal for his time in Lybia. Chris also, like his father, was an excellent guitar player, who loved to play Stan Rogers music, even surpassing his father in this talent. Chris always loved his time as a child at the family camp out in Mooseland and would spend much of his time there with his wife and children and was able to build great memories with them. Despite all these achievements, Chris was proudest about being a father to his three beautiful children. He was a loving and wonderful father, and his memory lives on through them.
Chris will forever be remembered by those who knew him for his story-telling, the twinkle in his eye, and his most infectious laugh. His family is comforted in knowing that in this terrible loss, Chris has helped others through the donation of organs and that a piece of him lives on to the benefit of others. Our deepest thanks to the medical staff at the NICU at the Halifax Infirmary at 5.2 for their compassion and care of Chris before his passing.
A funeral will be held on Friday, August 9th 2019 at 11:00 am at Saint John 23rd. Roman Catholic Church in 35 Colby Drive, Dartmouth. Reception to follow.
