Arthur "Hollywood" Williams, son of Arthur Lee Lindwood Williams and the

late Hideko Hirade, was born on April 3, 1966, in Baltimore, MD.

He was raised in East Baltimore and received his education through the Balti-

more City Public School System.

At 18 years old, Arthur married Donna Davis, started a family and enlisted into

the U.S. Army where he was generally discharged under honorable conditions.

Though his marriage ended, both went on to other relationships and raised

exceptional children. Arthur was a jack of all trades, but primarily spent his

adult life self-employed in the home improvement industry.

Arthur lived a joyous life full of laughs, animals, and lots of love. There was

never a dull moment in his presence; always ready to share a funny story from

his random experiences. His charming personality, paired with natural good

looks, made it hard not to enjoy him. Arthur had an undeniable love for nature

and animals. It brought out the kid in him whenever he had the opportunity to

explore and find a new pet. Raising dogs, fishing and caring for snakes were

some of his favorite pastimes. Most importantly, he loved and adored all of his

family. There's no limit to the extent he'll go to be there and protect those

significant to him.

On June 1,2019, at the age of 53, Arthur departed this life. His lively spirit will

forever remain in the hearts of all who knew him. He is already sorely missed.

Arthur was preceded in death by brother Khan Williams, Sr. He is survived by

(Sterling), Toshio Williams, Takamiro Williams, and Hideo Williams (Asia);
