Skyler Williams Obituary

Skyler Andrew Williams, 21, of Granville passed away on Sunday, August 11th, 2024 at O.S.F. Saint Medical Center, Peoria.

Visitation will be from 2 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, August 17, 2024 at Dysart - Cofoid Funeral Chapel 208 S. McCoy St. Granville, IL. Additional visitation will be from 10 to 11 a.m. on Sunday, August 18th, 2024 at the funeral home prior to the service.

Celebration of life will be at 11 a.m. on Sunday, August 18th, 2024 at Dysart - Cofoid Funeral Chapel, Granville. Burial will be in Granville Cemetery.

Skyler was born on October 25th, 2002 in Rockford, IL to Christina (Yocum) Croissant and Gary Williams II.

After graduating from Putnam County High School in 2020, Skyler became a dedicated construction worker with Judd Construction and everyone’s personal handyman. He lived to ride and drew a crowd wherever he went, if not from his skills then from his humor. The constantly busy man was always pushing everyone around him to be better in every way, on and off bikes. He loved helping kids, like his close cousin Ethan, learn the right way to ride. It was impossible to have a bad time with Skyler around.

He is survived by his Nana, Gail Yocum, and Papa, David Yocum of Granville; his mother, Christina (Rich) Croissant; his father, Gary Williams II of Indiana; stepbrothers Zach, Noah, and Hunter; his girlfriend, Savanna Lasson; and his Brothers. Also surviving are numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his brother, Jarrod Williams; paternal great-grandparents, David and Phyllis Meagher and maternal great-grandparents, Robert and Rita Yocum.

In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to his family.

Pallbearers will be Alex Bohne, Zack Bohne, Ben Cyr, Brayden Holmes, Miles McCook, Nathaniel Mrowicki, Nolyn Thompson, and Hunter Ziano.

Online condolences may be made to his family at www.dcfunerals.com
