Clifford Arnett Williams

Mr. Clifford Arnett Williams, son of O.C. and the late Jessie Mae Anderson, passed away on June 27, 2017 at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, Arkansas. Age 59 years.

Clifford was a faithful member of Spiritual Israel and its Army, Temple # 7, until he relocated to Pensacola, Florida in 2000. He loved fishing, hunting, sailing, gardening, riding horses, demonstrating Martial Arts and spending time with his dogs, Baby and Akasha. However, Clifford was most passionate with the instrument he loved, “the saxophone.” He could be found spending countless hours practicing, perfecting his craft, and performing with his sister, Cassandra Williams. This love would inspire him to form his first band, “WILL INSPIRE."

Clifford is survived by his loving companion, Jennifer Mason of Pensacola, Florida, who stood by his side until the end; parents, O.C.
