Jeffrey Glenn Williams (Herc, Mule)
Jeffrey Glenn Williams, affectionately known as “Herc” or “Mule,” was born on October 19, 1960, in Camden, NJ, to Robert Sr. and Gertrude Williams. He entered into eternal rest on January 27, 2025, in Albany, NY, surrounded by his loved ones.
He was raised and educated in Pennsauken, NJ, where he developed a love for working with his hands and a passion for boxing.
Jeffrey is predeceased by his father, Robert Williams Sr.; two brothers, Robert Jr. and Michael; and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.
He leaves to cherish his memory his mother, Gertrude Williams of Kissimmee, FL; three daughters, J’Aimelle (Delwin) Sledge of Fairhope, AL, Tiffany (Alpheus) Gibbs, and Nakeeta Cole (Beko) of Monticello, NY; one brother, Craig (Geri) of Kissimmee, FL; his beloved grandchildren, Saniya, DJ (J’Aimelle), Mikhah, Symphany, Timaeus, Pearce (Tiffany), Bella, Brent, and Baelee (Nakeeta); one aunt, Darlene David; and a host of cousins and friends.
The family would like to extend a special thank-you to two of his close friends, Michelle and Jamel, who never hesitated to help Jeffrey whenever he needed it. We are truly grateful for you both.
After moving from New Jersey to New York, Jeffrey began working in the hotel industry, where he had the opportunity to cross paths with several professional boxers—one of his greatest passions. He also had a deep love for working on cars, football, and, of course, good food. Known for his infectious laugh and strong work ethic, he was often found at body shops and garages, always with a smile on his face. With his larger-than-life personality, he proudly referred to himself as a "gorilla."
Jeffrey’s presence, humor, and love for those around him will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
