Dequan Williams Obituary

Dequan L. Williams
YORK
On Saturday, October 17, 2015, Dequan Lynn Williams was tragically taken from his earthly home. Dequan is affectionately known as "Dink", "Buff" and "Dinger".
Dequan was born in York on September 1, 1987, to Jacqueline Michelle Larry and Jakie Lynn Williams.
He was educated through the York City School District. Dequan enjoyed making people laugh, basketball, roller blading, was an avid Eagles fan, and he loved to dress to impress. For those who knew Dequan, they knew he loved singing and dancing, but most of all Dequan loved being around his family - especially his brothers, sisters, grandmom, Viola, and friends.
Dequan leaves to mourn his loss, but cherish his memory, his parents, Jacqueline and Jakie; maternal grandmother, Viola Jones; paternal grandfather, Deacon Robert L. Williams; two brothers, Sherron Copeland and JaBree Williams; three sisters, Brandi Woodson, Jakiea Williams, and Jae'leisha Williams; a godfather, Marion Simmons; his girlfriend, Ree Ree; stepfather, Donald Ehrhardt; two special aunts, Mary Jackson, and Shirley Talley and husband, Walter; and aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of other family members and friends. Dequan was preceded in death by maternal grandfather, Nathaniel Larry; maternal grandmother, Ernestine Williams; an uncle, Michael Larry; an aunt, Aleisha (Bipp) Martin; and a cousin, Jacqua Larry.
A Celebration of Life Service will be Monday, October 26, 2015, at 11 a.m. at Shekinah Worship Center, 11 N. Richland Ave., York 17401 with Overseer Virginia King officiating and Dr. Lafawn Wilson, eulogist. A viewing will be prior to service from 9 to 11 a.m. Burial will be in Lebanon Cemetery, York. Boulding Mortuary Inc., York, is handling arrangements.
