Kason Williams

Mr. Kason Lamond Williams, 38, formerly of East St. Louis, Illinois, gained peace after passing in the comfort of his home during the early hours of February 20, 2023, in Camby, Indiana. Completing the trio that belonged to Derrick and Terry (Appleton) Williams, a daughter Shauna and set of twin boys, Jason and Kason made their entrance into this world on September 7, 1984, in Belleville, Illinois. Destined to make his presence known, Kason, also known as "Ghost G" was a natural entertainer who from a young age learned the art of embellishing his stories. First it was with his mother, then was resilient to see the rise he could bring out in people enjoying making them laugh. Raised in East St. Louis, he graduated from Belleville East High School in 2002. Passionate to the sport of football and fishing, he was a lifelong fan of the Chiefs and Dodgers. For Kason, it was the love of barbecue that brought him to master the art of smoking and grilling, finding happiness in wholesome things like preparing family feasts. Never holding back, nor did he come with a filter, he called it like he saw it and it was definitely a tactic in which his confidence was cultivated. Not one to shy away from manual labor, he started working at the age of 15. Eventually moving to Indianapolis, the Williams family were forced to live a nightmare when their daughter Shauna was reported missing leaving them with no chance or hope of ever receiving the simple closure that they desperately needed. Above all, he loved his entire family, earning the titles of son, twin, brother, grandson, uncle, nephew, cousin, but was most proud to be called dad. His hard exterior shell was for protection, and it didn’t take long see that there was a heart of gold and a gentle lamb’s soul in his core. Finally free from the diabetes ailments that robbed him of years, Kason may rest easy with peace. Survivors include his beloved parents, Derrick and Terry Williams of Camby; twin brother and best friend, Jason Williams of Indianapolis; son, Kaden Williams of Alton, Illinois; nephew, Tyrone Williams of Indianapolis; maternal grandparents, Donald and Jeanette of Swansea, Illinois; and special friend, Yachrisa Teague of Indianapolis; along with a host of loving aunts and uncles, cousins, and friends. Funeral and cremation arrangements were entrusted to Light Memorial & Funeral Chapel in Monrovia, and the family gathered privately to pay their final respects.
