He was born Jan. 30, 1950 to Jessie Leon Williamson and Nevolee (McGee) Williamson in Florence, Ariz. He was a proud veteran of the Vietnam War, serving from 1967 to 1969. He was a lover of animals and children, and a true friend with a story for every topic. He could fix anything. He lived his life to the fullest, taking each day as it came. The little things in life made him happy, and he was a simple man, just grateful for what he had. He loved doing anything outdoors, as long as it wasn't too cold. He loved to play guitar, ride motorcycles and travel, and he found joy in spending time with family and friends. He enjoyed being with his dogs, Mac and Dolly. He was preceded in death by his father, Jessie Williamson. He is survived by his mother, Nevolee Williamson of Roseburg; daughter, Jessie (Travis) Deutschman of Newport; son, Adam Williamson of Oregon; sisters, Gwelda Shepardson of Roseburg and Linda (Doug) Williamson of Colorado; grandchild, Reace T. Deutschman of Newport; and numerous nieces and nephews. Affordable Burial and Cremation in Newport is handling arrangements.
