Lee Gary Williams

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Lee Gary Williams, who passed away peacefully in his 75th year, surrounded by the love of his family, on August 6, 2026.

Born to Merv and Joyce Williams, Lee lived a life defined by love and family. 

For 52 beautiful years, Lee was devoted to Nancy, the love of his life, with whom he shared a marriage filled with laughter and cherished memories. Together, they raised two wonderful children, Chelsea and husband Warren, and Brady Williams.  Lee was a proud and adoring Papa to his beloved granddaughter, Skylar Reinhart, who brought him immeasurable joy.

Lee’s family was everything to him. Some of his happiest memories were made traveling with Nancy and the kids to Disney, overseas, and to many places that became part of their family story. He especially treasured time spent at the beach with family and friends, creating the simple, precious moments that would become treasured memories for all.

Lee was a man who proudly served his country. He dedicated 32 years to the Canadian Air Force as a pilot, followed by eight years as a pilot with Canada 3000. His career was a source of great pride, reflecting his dedication, professionalism, and love of flying.

Retirement brought Lee and Nancy to Florida, where they spent the last 15 years of their lives together. There, they embraced a new chapter, enjoying the warmth and sunshine with old friends while making many wonderful new friends along the way. Lee had a gift for friendship, and he will be deeply missed by the close friends he made.

Lee will be lovingly remembered by his mother, Joyce Williams, and was predeceased by his father, Merv Williams. He will be dearly missed by his sister Jody and brother-in-law Dave Ireland, his sister Lori, and was predeceased by his brother-in-law Jamie Phillips. He will also be remembered with love by many nieces and nephews, as well as his brother-in-law Frank Vago and his wife Teddi.

Above all, Lee will be remembered as a devoted husband, father, proud Papa, loyal friend, and a man whose heart belonged to hisfamily. His presence brought warmth, laughter, and love to those fortunate enough to know him.

Though his journey has come to an end, the love he gave, the lives he touched, and the memories he created will live on in the hearts of his family and friends forever.

Lee will be deeply loved, forever remembered, and profoundly missed.

The family extends its heartfelt thanks to the dedicated workers of the University Hospital London Cardiac Care Unit for their compassion and care during Lee’s final days.
