Alan Keith Williams

Alan Keith Williams, 64, of Washington, DC, passed away on June 26, 2025. Alan was born on January 3, 1961 in Washington, DC, the son of Charles and Dessie Williams (Whiteside). Alan graduated from Cardozo High School in 1979.

As a youth, he enjoyed spending time with his family, reading the newspaper, and comics. Alan was also a great artist who loved to draw. Alan was a walking encyclopedia of sports facts. He loved collecting football, basketball cards and sports magazines. He also enjoyed reading and collecting Jet and Ebony magazines.

Alan attended Simpson-Hamline United Methodist Church in Washington, DC. He worked for many years in the construction industry.

Funny story… He was also a Dallas Cowboy’s fan. Gregory always thought that Alan was a Redskins’ (Commanders) fan, but Alan revealed about 15 years ago that he only pretended to be a Redskins’ fan just to make our father happy.

Remaining to cherish Alan’s memory are his brother, Gregory Williams (Shippensburg, PA) and sister, Rosa Williams (Brentwood, MD) as well as numerous nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. Preceding Alan in death are his parents, Charles and Dessie Williams, brothers, Alonzo Williams and Vernon Williams, Sr, and sister, Dessie Williams.

A family memorial service will be hosted to honor Alan at a later date.
