Daryl Wayne Williams

Daryl Wayne Williams Sept 4, 1954 – July 28, 2026 Daryl Wayne Williams was born in Nashville, Tennessee to Jimmie Lois and Walter Bernard Williams on September 4, 1954. He had an older brother, Walter Bernard, Jr. and would be joined later by his brother Reginald and sisters, Yolanda and Zelda. The family moved to Chicago and then New York settling in the Bushwich section of Brooklyn. While in school he actively participated in sports. He excelled in basketball and played golf with his father. His high school studies lead to a dual program with Pace University which lead to an early career in banking. Daryl was a participant with his family in the Jehovah’s Witnesses faith. It was through this that he met his first wife, Lynn Layton. They had a daughter, Shelby, and a son, Daryl Jr. Daryl’s parents and sisters were now living in Uniondale on Long Island so Daryl moved his young family to Bay Shore to be near them. Although their marriage ended, he had found joy in the community of Long Island. Banking prepared Daryl for other jobs. The occupation that he worked in the longest was as a Medical Billing Specialist at such hospitals as Mount Sinai in New York, St. Francis in Roslyn, Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, and Winthrop University (NYU Langone) in Mineola. This was a field of work he truly enjoyed. He became a father in a blended family when he married his second wife, Karen Washington, and began helping to raise her two children, Dorian and Dawn Howard, from her first marriage. Daryl and Karen would also welcome two sons, Blair and Matthew. Daryl will be greatly missed by everyone whose lives he touched. He is predeceased by his father, mother, and sister, Zelda. With his parent’s adoption of two brothers, Sam and Jerry Jones, he leaves five siblings. Daryl is survived by his children, son-in-law, Anthony Azar, and seven grandchildren, Sydney and Cameron Azar, Parisa and Braxton Williams, Gabrielle, Sophia, and Josephine Murray. Daryl was an uncle and brother in-law to too many to mention. We know that Daryl’s soul has returned to God, but our memories and love of him remain in our hearts forever
