Joseph Brian Williams Obituary – The Augusta Chronicle

Joseph Brian Williams (Brian), 49, a native of Augusta, entered into eternal peace at Cleveland Clinic Hospital in Weston, FL on Saturday, December 28, 2024. Survivors include his wife Jennifer (Jenny) Snead Williams and son Jacob Brian Williams of Cutler Bay; his parents Catherine M and Herbert Peter Williams of Augusta, GA; and many relatives. Brian was preceded in death by his brother Bert Williams of Milledgville, GA.

Brian was born and raised in Augusta, GA among a large and loving extended family. He attended Westside High School, earned a BA at Wofford College in Spartanburg and a Masters in Healthcare Administration at UNC-CH. After completing his graduate work, he and his wife Jenny remained in Durham, NC where Brian was a Director of Operations at Duke University Health System through 2015. They welcomed their biggest blessing and joy into life: Jacob Brian Williams in 2009. In 2015 the family moved to Miami, FL where Brian continued his healthcare career in Corporate Strategy at Baptist Health.

Throughout his life, Brian broke many medical records and expectations, having received a heart transplant in 1990, and fighting 5 major cancers. Through the years, Brian and family were thankful for the thousands of individuals, teams, and churches throughout the US and even internationally who supported him with prayer. To the end, Brian was a family man: a faithful child of God, loving son, adoring husband, and incredible father.

The family will receive friends from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, January 2nd at Kendall United Methodist Church in Miami, FL with a celebration of life service directly following. Burial of cremains will take place in the spring at Westover Memorial Park in Augusta, GA.
