Alvin Alexander Williams Jr.'s Obituary
ALVIN was born on November 21, 1957, in Chicago, Illinois, to the late Alvin Alexander Williams, Sr. and Celestine Lumbard. After his family moved to Mississippi, he became active in the church and gave his life to Jesus Christ at an early age, a decision that shaped the course of his life. In 2002, he married Rose W.

ALVIN was the oldest of his siblings among his parents and was certainly known as a big brother to each of them. He graduated in 1976 from Lanier High School and enlisted in the United States Army.
