Thomas James Williams, Jr. age 52, of Wayne, passed quietly and unexpectedly on Friday, November 24, 2023. Tom was born in Pequannock to Tom and Corinne Williams, he was raised in Wayne and graduated from DePaul High School.
An incredibly kind-hearted, genuine and humorous gentleman, Tom met the woman who became his wife, Dana Kuehm, at Farms View in Wayne. Tom and Dana married at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Paterson on December 6, 1998, and honeymooned in Las Vegas then Disney World and then on a cruise. Their marriage was just shy of 25 years and blessed them with two sons: Alec and Adam.
For all the characteristics and personality that Tom had, he is best known as a selfless, thoughtful, caring, devoted and fantastic father to his sons. Tom lived what he believed and gave those same traits to his children. Tom’s love of nature and the outdoors was also a way of life. Tom was most at peace in the tranquility of hunting and fishing with his sons. He proudly wore the title of an Eagle Scout, a testament to his dedication, leadership, and unwavering commitment to serving others. Tom coached baseball and hockey for both boys.
Tom was always humble and kind. His selflessness was evident everyday, one of his father in laws favorite memories was when he went to visit him at Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital. A normally cold place, Tom’s mother-in-law was wearing a sweat shirt, only to find out there was a malfunction with the hospital’s heat and the room was unbearably hot. Tom took the shirt off his back so that she could wear it. Of course, he had some explaining to do when he got home from the hospital shirtless.
Tom was the loving husband of Dana Kuehm-Williams; loving father of Alec and Adam Williams; son of Tom and Corrine Williams; 2 brothers; nephews & nieces.
