Williams ~ Darrell P. “DP” Williams was born March 18,1968, to Joseph Sr. and Carolyn Williams.

Darrell experienced many endeavors, including working for The City of Jacksonville Waste Department for over thirty years until his health began to fail.  He was an avid outdoors man and loved building and reconstructing things. Darrell enjoyed traveling and sitting in his garage contemplating on what would be his next project.  He enjoyed long road trips and gardening.  Darrell had a vision unlike any other and did not mind sharing and appointing you to your duties in his envisions.  He was a man of demeanor and courageousness.  Nothing could keep him down and let him tell it, he was “TOP CHEF” because he loved to bake.
