Skyler was born Oct. 25, 2002, at Rockford, Illinois, to Christina (Yocum) Croissant and Gary “Frankie” 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 him around.
He is survived by his Nana Gail Yocum and Papa David Yocum of Granville; mother Christina (Rich) Croissant; father Gary “Frankie” Williams II of Crawfordsville; step-brothers, Zach, Noah and Hunter; girlfriend Savanna Lasson; and brothers. Also surviving are numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
He was preceded in death by 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 at Cofoid Funeral Home c/o Skyler Williams, 209 N. McCoy, Granville, IL 61326.
Pallbearers will be Alex Bohne, Zack Bohne, Ben Cyr, Brayden Holmes, Miles McCook, Nathaniel Mrowicki, Nolyn Thompson and Hunter Ziano.
