Adam E. Williams Obituary (1974 - 2025)

Adam E. Williams, a vibrant soul who carried the pulse of innovation and laughter wherever he went, left us on October 13, 2025. Born on February 4, 1974, in Renton, WA, Adam brought a unique blend of creativity, intelligence, and humor into the world. Adam’s journey began in the hallways of Hazen High School, where his talent for technology became apparent. His passion led him to the University of Washington, where he earned his Master's degree and forged a path in the digital world. As an avid video gamer and computer enthusiast, Adam found success with Wizards of the Coast, Microsoft, and most recently, Zones. But his achievements in the realm of information technology were only one facet of his multifaceted life. Adam was equally passionate about music, often harmonizing with his brother Joel, and his laughter was a melody that will forever echo in the hearts of those who loved him. He was a man who embraced life with a spirit of joy and a great sense of humor, leaving an indelible mark on everyone he met. Adam is predeceased by his mother, Norma Beth Cotharn, and his brother, Vince Williams. He is survived by his father, James Williams of Renton, WA; his brother Joel Williams and companion Angela of AZ, and two nieces, Rowan and Shelby. His absence leaves a void that can never be filled, but his spirit lives on in the memories he created and the lives he touched. Arrangements are being handled by Mays Funeral Home & Cremation Services. A memorial page has been created at www.MaysFuneralHome.com, where you are encouraged to share your memories and upload photos of Adam. Let us immortalize his life, celebrate his journey, and remember the joy he brought to our world.
