Brandon Williams Memorial Foundation

Brandon Williams lived everyday of his life to the fullest. Brandon was enthusiastic, and had an infectious smile. He enjoyed spending time with friends and family. He loved his job, and worked hard at it. Every day was an adventure to him. He loved spending time at the lake skiing and fishing. Brandon loved playing baseball; he enjoyed coaching his brother's baseball team. He also played basketball, and football. Brandon enjoyed making others laugh, almost as much as he enjoyed spending time with his brother, and his cousins. Sadly, on May 21, 2005, Brandon Williams passed away from alcohol poisoning. Determined to prevent this tragedy from happening to another family, two months after his passing, on July 3, 2005, the Brandon Williams Memorial Foundation was established as his namesake with a mission to promote the dangers of alcohol and substance abuse. As a tribute to Brandon's life and his love for sports, the Brandon Williams Memorial Foundation established a scholarship program in his honor for Northwest Arkansas high school seniors. The first scholarships were distributed in 2006. It is the desire of the Brandon Williams Memorial Foundation to keep Brandon's memory alive by continuing to grow both the Foundation and the scholarship program as a lasting tribute to an energetic and loving young man whose life ended much too soon.
