John "Dudley" Williams, Sr

A well-respected and talented attorney, John "Dudley" Williams, Sr., 61, lost his life in a house fire on June 10, 2016. Dudley was born on October 1, 1954 and raised in Jackson. He moved to Aberdeen in the early 1980s to open his private practice. Dudley graduated from the University of Mississippi and attended Mississippi School of Law. He wanted to be remembered as a loving and good father to his three sons, Hunter, John Dudley, and Marshal. He cared deeply about the Aberdeen community and will be remembered fondly, and terribly missed by his many family and friends. Dudley lived life to the fullest and was a man of varied interests. Surviving family members are his wife, Jeannie; three sons, Hunter, John Dudley (Madison), and Marshal (Aevan); two brothers, Ney (Dana) and Harris (JoAnna); and a host of cousins, nieces, and nephews.
