Jacob Alan Williams

Jacob Alan "Jake" Williams, born on May 3, 1985, passed away on January 16, 2025, in Lomira, Wisconsin. He was 39 years old.

Jake grew up in Ohio and later lived in Rhode Island before settling in Wisconsin, where he spent his final years. He began his career in customer service and waiting tables but found his true calling after moving to Wisconsin. Under the guidance of his older brother Matt, Jake became a freight transportation dispatcher and broker. His dedication and cheerful demeanor earned him the admiration of customers, drivers, and coworkers alike.

Jake had a zest for life that was evident to all who knew him. He loved fishing, singing karaoke, and cooking—activities that brought him joy and allowed him to share happiness with others. His vibrant personality and warm spirit left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

Jake is survived by his parents, Gail and James Williams; his siblings, Heather Anquillare Lugo, Vince Anquillare, Joe Anquillare, Matt Williams, Katy Williams, James Williams, Liliana Williams, and Javier Williams. He was preceded in death by his beloved older sister, Jaimee Williams.
