M.W. Williams

August 16, 1935 - October 11, 2023

M.W. Williams born 08-16-1935 left this world to be with his savior on 10-11-2023 at the age of 88; he was laid to rest on 09-05-2024.
The people of Winnemucca who were fortunate enough to know M.W. Williams knew him as (Joe).
It is said Joe arrived in Winnemucca coming from Texas around 1960 working bucking hay for ranches and any other jobs that were available at the time.
In the mid-1960s, Joe made his way out to Battle Creek and Paiute Meadows Ranches where he continued to work hard irrigating, haying and being a dependable ranch hand.
In 1975 Joe was back in Winnemucca and working for Grady Plumbing as a a plumber’s helper. He remained with this company until around 1990 when he was hired as a maintenance worker for the Humboldt County Convention Center and remained there until his retirement.
Joe was a truly humble and gracious man, who could be seen walking to the grocery or hardware store in winter snow or summer heat and it would be such a pleasure to have him accept a ride just so you could hear the kind words he would share with you.
For all of us who again were fortunate to have had this opportunity, Joe, you are and will be missed.
(No next of kin could be found for Joe and we are profoundly sorry it has taken so long for Joe to be laid to rest).
