Deacon Sylvester Curtis Williams Sr. was the last living and baby of twelve children born to late Jerry Neal Williams and Rosie Baker Williams. His father was a sharecropper and his mother was a home maker. As a child of a share cropper, he spent time chopping cotton, chopping wood and helping out on the farm too. His parents instilled in all their children the value of education in order to make a better life for themselves. He graduated from Calvert Colored High school. His whole family loved to sing. 
As a high school student, he entered a Talent show at Prairie View A&M University and won the 1st place Blue Ribbon. With no doubt, his singing helped him win the heart of his high school sweetheart, Alyne Marie Hollie. To this union two children were born, Marilyn Denise Williams and Sylvester Curtis Williams Jr.  He remained married to Alyne until her death.  Deacon Williams was a hard worker, often working two jobs to provide for his family. He was no stranger to hard work. The family lived in multiple cities including Abilene, Houston and Galveston, TX. Eventually he followed his beloved and closest sister, Annie Bell, to Burkburnett, Texas and to Providence Baptist Church. While a member of Providence Baptist Church, He was ordained as a Deacon. Later on became a member of Bethel Baptist Church. While living in Burkburnett, he worked as a supervisor and retired from Ciba -Geigy. He later was employed by civil services at Shepard Air Force Base. He worked civil service until his eye sight declined. He then went to work for Beacon light house for the Blind. Despite his blindness, Deacon Williams would light up a room a with his smile and loving demeanor.  He was the master of “Dad” Jokes. His humor remained intact throughout his illness. He loved the Lord, his family, Friends, fishing, playing dominoes and Football. His favorite team was the Dallas Cowboys “Win lose or Draw”. 
Deacon Williams was Blessed enough to find love twice. He married Joyce A. Williams who had 4 children whom he loved dearly. Mr. and Mrs. Williams were also kind enough to open their home and hearts to foster children over the years.  During their 30 plus years of marriage, the couple enjoyed traveling. Their adventures took them on a cruise to the Caribbean and San Francisco to name a few. A walk along the shores of Virginia Beach turned into an impromptu miniature concert while singing with his brother-in-law drawing a crowd of people and requests. 
He relocated to Wichita Falls TX. and joined Bethlehem Baptist Church under the leadership of his in-laws Rev. J.C. and Earlene White. He was also a member of the Wichita Falls Men’s Chorus Extravaganza.  Deacon Williams was a devout Christian who served the Lord with gladness.
