About Leroy Billy Williams
Leroy Billy Williams, 83, passed away on April 22, 2025, in Mesa, Arizona at his home. Bill led a very happy, active life, filled with family, friends, and many activities, which included serving his country in the Navy.
Bill worked with the Forest Lakes Fire Department, Forest Lakes Water Department, ADOT, Game and Fish Department, as a backhoe operator, and as a carpenter. He enjoyed spending time with his wife Amy (married 64 years), fishing, crawdad-ing, exploring the outdoors, western movies (all on VHS!), collecting antiques and spending time with his children, Rebecca Johnson, Shane Williams (Scott), Liberty Morehead (Bill), grandchildren Autumn Kendall, September Saros (Pat), Hunter Williams (Monica), Aspen Frahm (Carson) and great-grandchildren Patience Kendall, Temperance Kendall, Savanna Williams, Cash Saros, and Atlas Saros.
He will be remembered for his sense of humor, love of family, gardening (tomatoes), making goat cheese, cooking divinity and tamales, canning, watching gas prices for the best deal, obsessing with the weather reports, building his cabin in Forest Lakes, and watching the quail at Tonto Basin.
A celebration of his life, for family and friends, will be held at the Saros home located at 1017 E. 7th Place, Mesa, AZ 85203, on Saturday, May 3rd, from 10am-1pm.
**RSVP’s to Shane Williams (480-703-7945) are appreciated by Wednesday, April 30th. Light lunch and beverages will be served.

Bill was one of the first neighbors we met after we bought our cabin. When we ask who could we get help from for a project, we were told to talk with Bill Williams’s. He made us feel so welcome and was always so friendly. He is leaving behind a wonderful family.
