Our loving father, grandfather, brother and friend, LaVar Williams, passed away peacefully and reunited with his Sweetheart Joyce, on Sept. 22, 2018 at his home with loving family surrounding him, at the age of 87.

He was born on April 20, 1931 in Ogden, Utah, the youngest of seven children, to Robert and Blanch Taylor Williams.

He served in the Army and was stationed in Korea during the war. After he returned home he met and married his Eternal Sweetheart Joyce Fowler on June 16, 1955 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They spent 58 wonderful years together.

He was a faithful member of the LDS Church, where he served as bishop in the Ogden 3rd Ward.

He worked for Bush Market, delivered for Family Bread and Dokos Candy Company. He owned and operated J&L Grocery store, worked for the LDS Church for 23 years.

Dad enjoyed playing football for Mound Fort Jr. High and Ogden High School, hunting, fishing, camping, Bear Lake trips, gardening and being a jokester to everyone he met. The best thing dad loved was spending time with his family whether it be at home or outside activities.
