Nicholas Williams

Nicholas Benjamin Williams, Big Nick "The Greek" passed away peacefully in his sleep on Wednesday, November 23, 2011 at his home in Cedar City, Utah. He was born on June 16, 1970 in Las Vegas, Nevada. He married the love of his life, Teresa Loyd on June 20, 1992.

Nick was a proud father of four children: Nicholas, Shantelle, Breanna and Hannah. He had a new love, his granddaughter: Nevaeh, he adored her and spent every morning with her. His children were his life and he loved watching their talents in dance and sports cheering them on! He was a man not afraid of showing his feelings, he was always the first to say "I Love You". He hugged and kissed us all the time.

Nick started learning to hang drywall at the early age of 10 and he soon mastered it. He strived to be the best, sometimes betting his paycheck that he was the fastest. He enjoyed fishing and camping with his family. Nick had such an outgoing spirit, to him there were no strangers, young or old, he got along with all. He had a goofy personality, he loved to say the corny things just to make you smile.

Nick was also a dad to three beautiful boxers, that he spoiled and treated as humans, they were his babies. Nick didn't always choose the easiest road to travel, but he never stopped trying to find the right path and in the end he found it and we are so proud of him. We love you daddy, you will be greatly missed.

Nick is survived by his mother and father: Barbara Williams and Nick Rapanos, his wife: Teresa, one son: Nicholas, three daughters: Shantelle, Breanna and Hannah, a granddaughter: Nevaeh, one brother: BJ, two sisters: Michelle and Delilah and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father J.C. Williams.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, December 3, 2011 at 3:00 p.m. at the Red Hills Baptist Church, 4277 North Wagon Wheel Dr, in Enoch, UT. Interment will be in the Cedar City Cemetery.
