Michael Eugene "Mike" Williams, age 69, of Tull, Arkansas, passed away at home on January 13, 2026. Mike was born in June 28, 1956 to Star Allen Williams and Mary Rosalee Jeffcoat.

He spent his life rooted in hard work, loyalty, and the simple joys that made him happiest — never missing an opportunity to be in the deer woods, floating the Buffalo River, or tending to his garden.

As stubborn as they come and loyal to a fault, Mike was a hardworking man who dedicated more than 20 years of service as a Maintenance Supervisor with Pilot Travel Centers. He took pride in doing things the right way and working with his hands.

Mike shared over 40 years of life and family with Anita Lee Alsup. Together they built a family that remained a meaningful part of his life. He was a proud PopPop, loved a cold Busch Light, and could always be counted on for a good story or a strong opinion.

Mike is survived by his children, Shawn Creasey (Katie) of Virginia, Destiny DePriest (Parker) of Benton, AR, and Maggie Dailey (Conner) of Farmington, AR; his grandchildren, Jake and Charlotte and extended family.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Star Allen Williams and Mary Rosalie Jeffcoat; and his siblings, Helen Williams-Holcomb, Millard E. "Buck" Williams, Wilburn D. Williams, Allen Eugene Williams, Loretta Williams, and Shirley Margaret Williams.

While his presence here will be missed, there is comfort in knowing he is no longer hurting or suffering from health problems — and is surely chasing monster whitetail bucks once again.

Services will be held on January 19, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at Ashby's Funeral Home in Benton, Arkansas.
