Chadley Stephen Williams

Chadley Stephen Williams, beloved father, son, brother, nephew and a cherished friend, passed away on January 6, 2025, at the age of 50. Born on September 10, 1974, in Hays, Kansas, Chadley brought immense joy and laughter throughout his life. With a personality as dynamic as his many talents, he was known to many as the life of the party, a man with a big heart who thrived in bringing smiles to those around him.

Chadley poured his passion into his work, owning his own garage and overhead door business that reflected his love for hands-on craftsmanship. His aptitude for working with his hands was artistic and practical; he not only repaired and built but also created. A multi-talented individual, he found joy in playing the guitar, skillfully picking up songs by ear, and he possessed the unique ability to express himself through music. His hobby of making homemade knives and rebuilding motorcycles was an extension of his knack for creativity, demonstrating his dedication to all things crafted with care.

However, it was his role as a father that filled him with pride above all else. Chadley is survived by his beloved son Asa Williams of Tulsa, OK and his four cherished daughters, Caitlyn and husband Josh Koutsky of Latrobe, PA, Carlie Williams of Latrobe, PA, Treva Williams, and Amelia Williams both of Tulsa, OK. He was also a proud grandfather to Caden Koutsky, and his legacy will live on through them. He is remembered fondly by his devoted father and stepmother, Stephen Williams and wife Cindy of Independence, KS. And mother Charlene Johnson of Tulsa, OK. Beloved Aunt Patty Williams of Independence, KS. Chadley leaves behind his brothers, Matthew Williams and Tara McCarrell of Cherryvale, KS and Jason Williams and wife Jennifer of Cherryvale, KS, and stepbrother Rory Holmes and wife Krystyl of Sandy, UT, and two stepsisters Meagan Coker and Steve Blazer of Catoosa, OK and Maddie Hawn of Aurora, CO who surely share in the rich memories of a brother whose love knew no bounds.

Chadley’s wit and humor made every moment spent with him a joyous one; he had the rare gift of making everyone feel special and loved. His laughter still echoes in the hearts of those he leaves behind, and memories of his kindness and generosity will forever be cherished.

A memorial service honoring Chadley’s life will be held on January 14, 2025, at 10am at Potts Chapel in Independence, Kansas. Friends and family are invited to gather in celebration of a life that was beautifully lived and lovingly shared. While Chadley may have left this world, the impact of his loving spirit and zest for life will remain forever in the hearts of those fortunate enough to have known him.
