Terry Williams, 70, of Swanton, OH passed away suddenly on May 25, 2024, while enjoying one of his favorite pastimes, riding his motorcycle in NC with his wife, Diane, after visiting his brother and his aunt, his wife's sister & brother-in-law and his sister & brother-in-law! He was the son of Elbert and Dorothy Williams, born on February 13, 1954, in Spartanburg, SC.

Terry graduated from Macomber High School in 1972. Upon graduation, Terry enlisted and was a proud Marine serving from 1972 – 1976. He attended the University of Toledo College of engineering from 1979 – 1980. But it wasn’t until 1983, when Terry started working at All Thrift Heating with his dad, that he found his true passion in the heating industry. In 1991, Terry and Michael Williams founded Action Heating, Air Conditioning and Electrical which continues to serve Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan. In 2021 Terry retired. Even in retirement Terry continued to share his expertise in HVAC by working part-time with HVACI, as a claims investigator, and Home Serve, as a repair tech.

Terry was a dedicated, hard worker who did not like to remain idle. He will be remembered fondly as an avid hunter and outdoorsman, passionate motorcyclist, active member of the community as well as many social clubs, and a man who lived everyday of life to the fullest. He loved his family and friends fiercely and took immense pride in being a Papa.

He is survived by his wife and love of his life, Diane Williams; his stepchildren, Claire (Caleb) Haley, Peter (Katie) Skowronek, Channing (Jamieson) Eisenmann, Andrew (Chelsie) Taub; his sister, Connie (Ron) Myers; his brothers, Steve (Pam) Williams & Bruce Boiter; his niece, Christina (Andy) Andrews; his nephew, Scott (Kim) Myers; his cousin, Michael Willaims; and 10 grandkids that affectionately refer to him by his favorite name “Papa.”

Please join us in celebrating his life Saturday June 8, 2024, at Newcomer Funeral Home located at 3655 King Rd, Toledo, OH 43617. Visitation will be 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. with a service to honor his life starting at 3:00 p.m. Per Terry’s wishes, he will be cremated, ashes to be spread at a later date.
