John Alden “Big John” Williams II

John Alden “Big John” Williams II, age 37 of Newark, DE died suddenly on Wednesday, June 30, 2021 in Lewes, DE.

John was born in Wilmington, son of Peggy Payson and the late John Alden Williams. He was a graduate of McKean High School. John worked for an industrial printing company for several years. Recently, he worked in construction in Lewes, DE for Garcia and Sons.

Simply put, Big John loved his dog Diamond.

He is survived by his stepfather and mother Rob and Peggy Payson of Wilmington, DE, his brother Matthew Williams of Newark, DE, a nephew Braeden Hilton, step grandparents Bob and Judy Payson of Greenville, DE, paternal grandfather Joe Williams of Newark, DE. and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

    I'll miss the " One Tubby tubby" everytime he answered the phone. The endless conversations when we both imitated cartmen the whole time. And holidays with Big John asleep on my couch in a food coma when he was supposed to be visiting other people. Im sorry he's gone. I'll be telling stories of him til we meet again on the other side.
