But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness and faithfulness. Galatians 5:22-23
Karl Myron Williams was born to the late Howard and Barbara Williams on August 5th, 1971. He was the youngest of four siblings.
At a very early age his parents introduced him to the Lord and he became affiliated with Nazareth Methodist Church which later became North Orangeburg United Methodist Church.
Karl was educated in the public schools of Orangeburg County. He received his education at Whittaker Elementary School, Belleville Middle School and graduated in 1989 from Orangeburg Wilkinson High School. He then obtained his Bachelor degree from Claflin University. After the passing of his father in 2018, Karl returned to Claflin University to complete his lifelong goal of earning a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction so he can continue to educate the children who adored and looked up to him.
He was employed at Brookdale Elementary School and the former Brookdale Middle School. He also served as a coach in the school district.
Karl had many passions. One of them was his love for Old School Hip Hop and one of his favorites was A Tribe Called Quest. He had a tremendous love for his family. He was always the ambassador for family events in the backyard. He loved his family reunions. His biggest love of all was sports. He had a young vibrant spirit as it always served him in his love for connecting to and teaching young people. Along with being a coach to many, he was a fan of the games. He was an avid fan and supporter of the beloved Chicago Cubs, The Philadelphia Eagles and the Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers. As for the college team besides his alma mater, Claflin University, he enjoyed Big East Basketball as a fan of the Georgetown Hoyas. He loved his brothers and his sister. He was always the prankster of the bunch.
Karl leaves behind his loving mother, Barbara, of whom he acted as caregiver. He also leaves to mourn him, his older sibling Shawn (Monica) Elston (Penelope) and Tracey, his uncle, Arthur Glover, his nieces and nephews, godchildren and a host of relatives and friends.
Karl left a legacy to be emulated: a love for family, a love for students and a love for his community.
