Danny Wayne Williams, of New Berlin, TX, peacefully passed away on April 24, 2024, and went home to be with his Lord and Savior after a long battle with Alzheimer’s.

Born on February 19, 1951, in Freer, TX, to Jasper and Billie Williams, Danny’s journey was one of remarkable achievements and profound impact. He graduated from Crockett High School in 1969 where he held the distinction of being their first class president, an Eagle Scout, and was voted most handsome.

Following high school, Danny went on to study Dairy Science at Texas A&M University. During his senior year, Danny was selected outstanding senior and was celebrated with a banquet. He later received a Master’s degree from A&M in Animal Nutrition.

Danny’s professional journey began at the Texas A&M Dairy where he coached the college dairy judging team for many years. He also owned Texas Dairy Farms and extended his expertise of the dairy industry globally by consulting and exporting dairy cattle to Saudi Arabia. He later transitioned into the pipe, valves, and fittings industry where his entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish Williams Supply Company on February 10, 2002, a venture that thrives today, employing over 20 individuals.

Throughout his 73 years, Danny left an enduring legacy characterized by qualities of generosity, faithfulness, and compassion. His commitment to service was evident in his involvement with various organizations. He contributed in many capacities within the San Antonio Livestock Show and Exposition becoming a lifetime member in 1994, notably and most recently as a valued member of the calf scramble committee.

He also served as Director of the Guadalupe County Fair Association. He further extended his commitment to the community through roles such as Alderman of the New Berlin city council and membership in organizations like East Central Water Supply and the Canyon Regional Water Authority. Danny’s affiliations also included membership in the Texas Farm Bureau and the Texas Hereford Association, reflecting his deep-rooted commitment to agriculture and community stewardship.

His faith was also an important pillar in his life. He was raised in the Southside Church of Christ in Austin and accepted Christ and was baptized in February of 2006 at The Country Church in Marion, Texas.

Danny’s devotion extended to his family, where he cherished many moments shared at Aggie football games, hunting trips to Colorado, fishing expeditions to Rockport, and treasured family reunions.
