It is said that time eventually takes the pain away but nothing can erase the memory of you.
Sleep on and take your rest, we love you but God love you best!

It's been one year today.

May God continue to keep our hearts as we are reminded that a piece of it was taken away in the wee hours of May 03rd 2020.

Rikki Rogers said, strength doesn't come from what you can do. It comes form overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't.

While we may never fully overcome this tragedy, I can say that all of us have had to dig a little deeper during this past year to find greater strength to carry on.

No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, we have endured and survived a devastating blow.

We must continue to keep our heads up because the God who is abundant in mercy and grace will mend every broken heart and lift high the spirit that had been heavy and cast down.

It's been one year since you have been gone but time cannot undo the injustice that has happened to you.

We pray for justice, but we also are comforted in knowing that you are in a better place.

We will continue love and miss you. Sleep on and take you rest until we meet again.

Percy Williams Tribute


Brother Percy Williams, a wonderful man of God who loved his family, his church and his GOD.

You were one of the finest, loving, kind-hearted, considerate, helpful and compassionate persons in this world. During my time as a band director I had the privilege of working with you. You were very humble and easy to get along with. You were a good musician as you played your instrument very skillfully and had a lot of fun doing it.

When I got the news of your passing and how it happened, it was very, very hard to accept; I shed a lot of tears in disbelief. You and I were very close. Every time I visited the Blue Hills church you always made space for me in the same bench you were sitting in. I will miss you so much but God knows best. May your soul rest in sweet peace.

And to your family, be strong...this too shall pass. 

Your friend, Winston 'J.D.' Capron

My last, and probably my most fondest, moment with Uncle Percy was being able to sit down with him and Uncle Chris listening to their childhood stories with my Grandpa. I saw a love and bond between siblings that time nor death could erase. We laughed and a few tears were shed. That moment comforts me each time I remember my Grandpa's passing and brings a smile to my face. Those same memories comfort me now that Uncle Percy has gone home to glory. Thank you Uncle Percy for sharing your kindness and godliness during your time here. A piece of it lives on in me. ❤
May you rest in peace and rise in glory. ✝️
All my love and prayers to my Williams family. ❤

To: Min/Aunt Sal&Family,   

Take comfort in knowing this too shall pass. For the years that I've known and hearing of Brother Percy Williams, this would of being his Words. When I must leave you for a little while, please do not grieve and shed wild tears and hug your sorrow to you through the years,But start out bravely with a gallant smile, And for my sake and in my name live on and do all the things the same.

Strengthen our bonds one with another so we may dwell as brother to brother, Heal the wounds and be with us yet,Lest we Forget! Lest we Forget! Prayers, Thanksgiving and unchecked tears Let the words of Christ ring out in our ears.Keep steps with the master whatever betide, Knowing God does all things well. The tumult of victory cheers, Amid, Fret not your loneliness on empty days,But fill each waking hour in useful ways, Reach out your hand In comfort and in cheer And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near,And Never,Never be afraid to die, For I am waiting for you in the Sky! Still Loving my Family Stay Sweet Untill We Meet ♥️

Fr:Sister Irene Dean & Family.

I wanted to pass along condolences to the entire family. Please know that you have been in our thoughts & prayers. We’ll continue to pray for you and your family. My apologies for the lateness of my condolences.

It is ironic that I would finally visit this forever missed website today. I see Bro. Percy and I had something in common. I was born on the 13th of June and he, the 14th. Today just happens to be his special day. Even now, he is still making a mark in the lives of people for today there is a kindred moment between he and I. Heaven is so much greater for a general entered on the 3rd of May and took his rest from all his labor. Rest on Bro. Percy, Warrior that you are! You didn't cease to live, you only transitioned and one day we who are faithful to the end will see you again! Yet will we continue to fight on til we meet again!

Blessings on you Minister Sally and family. May the God of Peace continue to comfort, sustain and uphold you all and may He do it moment by moment as is needed! He knows and He cares! You will remain covered in prayer!

I could only imagine your pain and sorrow. No human being deserves to be taken away from their family in such a cruel way. My heartfelt condolences to Sister Sally his beloved wife. May God continue to comfort your hearts . To the children, grands and great grands Jesus knows and sees your hurt. Cherish the love and memories that are forever irreplaceable. Brother Percy have left a rich legacy as a servant of the Lord.
My prayer is with the entire family. Matthew 5:4 will give you comfort in this your time of sorry.
Be Encourage Sister Sally, Pastor Monique and your siblings!

‘Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted.’
It is with a heavy heart that I pay tribute to a ‘giant’ of a man whom I grew to love and admire - married to my beautiful cousin Sally. When I would visit especially when her cousin Bea was in town, we would always find him sitting on the porch or in the house and I would always ask ‘where is my cousin’ and he would reply with a smile ‘she’s right here I haven’t done anything to her’ and we would both laugh. He was a quiet but humble person, a godly man one who
made his contribution to the development of the TCI. He will indeed be remembered by what he has done.
To my dear cuz Sally and the children you know how I feel about you, I’m praying that God will continue to be with you, May His peace rest upon all of you.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saint Percy. May the Lord keep all of you in His care and this comes from Blythe and the girls, Bea Clare-Saunders in Nassau.

Missing my Grandpy really heavy today there are never words to express how you truly feel, if my grandfather had died peaceful I probably would have said thy will be done while still being hurt but the fact that your innocent life was taken, is the part I truly don’t understand and will probably never understand why. God always gives the toughest battles to his strongest soldiers and believe me if it wasn’t for the praying family that we are we would’ve taken this much harder. I was afraid to tell this to anyone but I feel now is the right time to say it. On May 3,2020 the night this tragedy happened I had a hard time going to sleep, but once I finally got to rest I saw my grandfather and he showed me a picture of my Grammy and his 7 children and in his most famous phrase he said “ I’m alright I’m ok just take care of them “ hearing those words put some kind of peace in my heart. Grandpy I know that you are up there in Heaven watching over us because I feel your presence everyday, I love you so much and wish I could just hug and kiss you one more time. Continue to take your rest Grandpy thank you for becoming like my second dad because your house was basically my second home, thank you for the many lessons you have taught me I will forever be grateful for everything you have done for our family. Once again I love you and continue to take your peaceful rest, I hope I continue to make you proud.
Love always, Yancy

I met this Giant of a man for the first time in 1968. He was my mother's nephew but we called him Uncle Percy. My brother Albury Rigby and Uncle Percy were cousins and best friends.In Eight Mile Rock, Grand Bahama. They were also neighbors. We all attended the COGOP in Pine Dale. I rembered my brother, Uncle Percy and others forming a Gospel singing group where they practiced in my brother's Living Room. I remembered them playing in the Bahamas Brass Band. My last time seeing Uncle Percy was August 2019 at our Williams Family Reunion in Provo. What a time we experienced. My last conversation with him was in March of this year. You see, he was the kind of person who was always checking on his relatives near and far. He didn't hold long conversations, but you felt his love. To Aunty Sally, and the rest of the family. Please know that we are hurting along with you all. May God continue to give you strength to go through this trying time. I love you all. My husband and children extend our sincere condolences. Rest in Paradise Uncle Percy. Until we meet again. We will always love you.

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Isaiah 40:29

Sincere condolences to Ms. Sally and the rest of the Williams family especially Sonia and family, Monique and family, Nadidja, Samniko and Alique.

Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Heart breaking and lost for words. A giant of a man, with a quaint smile , caring and a kind heart. You’re were indeed a gentleman and there was never a time that we met and he didn’t ask for my Mom his cousin Shirley whom she adored and held high. I salute and Thank you Sir Percy. Gone to soon. May His Soul Rest In Peace.

Deepest sympathy to Sis. Sally, the children and Grandchildren, Bro. Chris and the entire family.

Norman and Janet Forbes & Family.

God is our refuge and strength,A very present help in trouble.

Percy Williams,i was blessed to have met this wonderful man of God, his beautiful wife and family some seven yrs ago.They welcomed me into their home with open arms and love .I felt right at home that weekend.The meals were so delicious!! I remember brother Percy saying to sister Sally that he did not want to fry the fish outside ,on the fire wood because I might  want to eat it. Not knowing i heard i walked into the kitchen and laughed. I then said go right ahead and fry your fish out side, I grew up cooking on fire wood. I fell in love with the Williams family from that day to now .I visited them two more times after that and they always showed love and kindness . Mr Williams was such a loving ,kind and humble man of God. I remember last year Marsha was in the Bahamas, we were at a church service she saw me came and give a big hug. I was so happy to see her,now days people will see you and pretended they that not see you but not the Williams . I thank God to have met brother Percy he was like father to me. I want to say to the family i am praying for you all. 
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
      Love you Brother Percy .

Until we meet a gain. 

From : Brendalyn Neilly and Family.

I am so lost for words as I always admire the life of Bro. Percy and Sis. Sally Williams life. Sis. Sally could attest that I always tell her that she is my role model. Thanking God for his life a man of value, good standing, a child of God and so much more. He surely will be missed by the Church of God of Prophecy in the Turks & Caicos Islands. On behalf of my family we pray that God will strengthen and bring comfort to Sis. Sally, the children and the rest of the family. May the legacy he left behind be cherished along with all the memories.  RIP. Our dear Brother.

Heartbreaking.... Lost for words...May his soul Rest In Peace and wake in glory...Gone to soon. 

I meet uncle Percy for the first time in 2016 he was humble and peaceful may he rest in peace

I have been having a hard time expressing what I really feel during this time. Of course no one's really asking or expecting me to, but I want to anyway. I want to tell the world about how great my grandfather was. How willing and able he was to do almost any task he set his mind towards. There was nothing that he could not do. No problem he could not solve and although he was not a man of many words, he always knew just what to say and all I ever wanted was his approval. I wanted him to know how much I appreciated him and all that he did. I wanted him to know that I would be there to have his back to lift him up if he ever needed me to. I wanted him to know that I was proud to call him 'Grandaddy'. I admired his work ethic, his courage and bravery and most of all his calm and collected disposition.

Once I asked him how he maintained such an active state of being as a man in his seventies. He had back problems every-now and then but, he did not let that stop him from: waking up at five am before the rooster got the chance to wake him up, eating breakfast, having some alone time with God in his favorite place to sit; the ever elusive front porch, who's windy atmosphere was juxtaposed with the humidity of the inner sanctums of the house that I dubbed 'The Safe Place'. As a response to my question in all of his candor he responded, "Well.. There aint much too it . Just getting up early instead of laying about all day".This, if you did not realise it as yet was a subtle jab at his loving grand kids who tend to have different sleep patterns than he did. He continued, "Mostly I just stay active... going out looking after the field... you know, keeping busy". I believe that my Grandfather would not change a thing about this seemingly simple existence. He loved keeping himself busy until midday, when he was sure to return barefooted standing in the front of the back door. Meeting my grand mother at the stove preparing dinner. He'd ask what was on the menu and he'd go and freshen up before sitting at the table with me, my sister and any other relative there that day. He'd always have his head in a newspaper at dinner time even when technology was at it's peak. Often he'd break his silence when me or my sister asked a question or when he wanted to know how our days went. Soon enough, our Grammy would come over with dishes piled with local delicacies, like Conch, grits or just your average everyday chicken. The sun saturated the eating area which is not to be confused with my grandmother's lavish and meticulously planned out dining room. In fact there was so much sun that you could see the steam rising from the bowls or plates. Then we'd dig in.

Grandaddy and Grammy had an interesting relationship. I recall him giving a bit of critique to Grammy's food, "I... think you put... a lil too much salt Sally" and my grandma would rightfully defend her meal that she rarely tasted beforehand as she had already mastered everything. Personally, I thought the food was perfect every time but who was I to get involved in that conversation (I name 'child' as the old folk say. I remember him saying to Grammy 'That's alright, that's alright" and "All I was saying was..." when ever he noticed her getting worked up even in the slightest. I suppose that was his way of backing down, taking back his words or admitting it wasn't a big deal. After all Grammy was the light of his life, the apple of his eye and his soul mate. They did everything together and had a bond that reminded me of my own parents so I definitely felt a sense of familiarity whenever I was by their house.

After dinner he'd disappear again although we all knew where he was, either in the backyard or on the porch, but very often going through his phone. Not sure what he was doing, perhaps scrolling through the bible app or using Facebook to keep up with politics or close/ distant relatives. Every evening it was the same unless something was on. He'd sneak off to bed and wasn't really the type to say "Goodnight" to everyone at around seven-ish or eight-ish which might have still been too late for him. Then the cycle would repeat itself.

While everyday for him was different there were certain aspects of his character that remained the same. The way he'd always give a nervous laugh at my jokes no matter if he really found them funny or not, the way he'd ask "what you looking at" (jokingly) if he caught me staring at him and how him and my grandma were insistent on getting to give my sister and I a hug every time they saw us before our time was winding down and we'd have to return to the UK . We ended up saying our good byes twice and every time he was not afraid to tell us he loved us. That in itself was enough to know, that even with my family that consists of 30 plus people we were seen, we were heard and we were loved. I always knew that one day we'd have to let him go but never would I have imagined that it would end like this. A giant of a man stolen from the ones he truly loved.We loved him but God loved him best.

I consider Mr. PERCY as A MAN AND A HALF A HUMBLE,QUIET,CALM,SOUL. when I came to Provo 30 years ago I was introduced to Mr Percy by his brother now deceased Pastor James Williams I used to Rent His Apartment on Top of the hill so Pastor James made sure I met all of the family. Over the years when I attend COGOP Convention I will always admire how Mr Percy and Mrs Sally will be in Church Dress from Head to toe if Mrs Sally wearing Red, Mr Percy had to have on his Red shirt n tie to Match Mrs Sally outfit.
Sometimes he will not listen and want to dress his way and wont obey the dress code of the day given by Mrs Sally. But you will still see him with his Big Bible in his hands walking on the side of Mrs Sally that I will missed when I visit COGOP. It is so sad to see what our Communities has become over the years. I know it's hard and so sad for the Family but rest assure GOD WILL TAKE GOOD CARE OF ALL OF YOU'LL. Have my SYMPATHY RIP MR PERCY

Just truly saddened by the news. Mr. Williams was always a humble man with a kind spirit. Remembering back in the 1970's or 80's when they migrated back to Turks and Caicos and i was saddened by the relocating of my friends, Marsha (classmate)  Denise and Nadine. Then i moved here 5 years ago, and first united with him he came over and re-introduced himself, having good conversations of the old days every time we met at church functions. My sincerest condolences to the family, as we mourn the passing of our beloved.

May the God of ALL comfort sustain the family during this difficult time. Having met Mr. Percy at the wedding of his daughter, my dear friend Sonia, his kindness and sense of humour made a lasting impact. One in which even in her grief, Sonia reminded me of recently. A memory that will forever bring a smile. Rest in eternal peace Sir!

WOW!!!!!!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT HE IS GONE!!!!
Brother Percy, I miss you.
Brother Percy, my a Father figure, Friend, talk to, give good advice, always smiling; a student in my adult Sunday School Class, the first student to arrive to Sunday School; worked long and hard in his Family, in the Church, on his job, in the community.

God is a God of comfort of peace in every circumstances no matter what your situation God is always there and I just want to encourage the Williams family that God is in control I know it's hard, I think the artist part of losing someone isn't even to say goodbye, but rather learning to live without them. Always trying to fill out the void, the emptiness cotton left inside your heart when they go I just want to encourage all the family at this time you will surely be missed the greatest thing I know that I found a resting place in God, may God continue to encourage you be encouraged the Williams family at this time God is with you God bless you all

An Ode to Percy Williams!!
Percy, remember...
when we first met back in 1978? You being one of two bulldozer
drivers for the 49er Ltd., which later became Cove
Construction. I had just arrived on Provo with big ideas and little
money. Times were challenging for both of us, but by the Grace
of God we survived.
Percy, remember... ?
how many times we had to postpone bulldozer work at the
construction side because of breakdowns of the equipment. You
were always there for me to calm me down with the promise that
tomorrow will be better than today. You were the one who
constantly encouraged me to go forward with "the project". T
never forgot your words.
Percy, remember..... .
when years later, every time you graded the road to South Dock,
you automatically continued to grade up to my property. It was
not "your job", but you did it anyway. Why?...because you
cared.
And now, Percy, you are no longer with us, brutally shot by
unknown assailants who had no regards to human life or values.
May you rest in peace with the knowledge that indeed you
were respected and loved by many. But, Percy, you knew that all
along, didn't you!
Good Bye, my friend!
Armin

Sis Sally.
May our Lord bless and comfort you and your family during this time.
Please accept my sincerest ondolences.

Here in the UK we also grieve the loss of Uncle Percy, a Godly gentleman and gentle-man. My sincere condolences Sister Sally and family; you remain in our hearts: our prayers are for God's Grace and Comfort to be multiplied unto you. Uncle Percy - Rest in God's Eternal Peace. Calvin and Jennifer Stone

A precious limb has fallen from the family tree. Remember the best times, the laughter the joy you experienced with your loved one. Continue to trust in God who is your refuge and strength. He will sustain you during the time and beuond. Sincere condolences to Reverend Sally Williams, all the children and the entire family. Rest in Peace Mr Percy.

I, like the others knew Bro Williams for almost all my life a distinguished quiet gentleman. His untimely death came as a shock my condolences to the family. Cherish the memories know that he is with his saviour. Know that you are in my prayers and thoughts
May his soul rest in peace

There are times when you will come up against something that will make you feel as though the whole world had stopped and the things you thought were important not to be as important as they seemed anymore.

This time came for me at three 3am on Sunday morning on the 3rd of May when my wife Monique L. Williams-Harvey and I were awaken by a phone call from her brother Ron informing her that their Father had been shot during a terrorizing robbery at their home.

It seemed in that moment that the world had stopped and that the foundations of a great family had been shattered and had fallen apart.

All of a sudden the fear of contracting Covid- 19 had been swollowed in the reality that no matter how we tried to protect our elderly loved one from the dreaded disease by not visiting his home these pass weeks, that his untimely death would come through heartless bullets form a robbers gun.

This hurts so deeply that words cannot explain. I had work alongside my Father in law for over twenty years at Cove Construction. He was the Manager but he was also my teacher and mentor in the heavy equipment business.

In the years I worked with him he was know for puntuality, excellence in service and honesty. There is not anyone out there who can say that Brother Percy treated them unfairly or cheated them out of anything.

He was always one to help others through his work and always made sure that the Heavy Equipment Operators at Cove Construction gave a fair days work to their customers.

I am going to greatly miss this great man who was always a strong silent presence at family gatherings and who was always most pleased to see his family together.

You see, having had the opportunity to work with and to be mentored by Brother Percy I got to know him quite well through the years, and could tell how he was feeling just by the look on his face.

I can truly say that Brother Percy was most pleased when his family came together for family dinner and these gatherings were so frequent, especially in recent times, that Brother Percy was heard to say, " It is a good thing you all don't drink!"lol.

While we miss him, there is not a family member who said of him, " I wish I had more time with him or that there was something that was left unsaid or undone!

Brother Percy said it all and did it all for his family.

Please continue to keep our family in prayer.

Sleep on Brother Percy and take your rest, we all love you but God loves you best!

May the sorrow you feel in your heart, lighten by the love that surrounds you.
We are thinking and praying for the family during these difficult times.
On behalf of the downtown church, my family. Our sincere condolences
May the good lord grant you strength to carry on

Rest in peace my dear cousin. See you at the meeting in the air

Jesus keeps me near the cross there's a precious fountain...free to all a healing stream flows from Calvary's mountain.....
In the cross..in the cross be my glory ever...till my raptured soul shall find rest... beyond the river..
Sincere condolences to a very precious lady Reverend Sally Williams and the girls and my dearest Ron....children grandchildren and great grands.
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal....Rest in heavenly peace Brother Percy Williams.....

I have known Mr. Percy Williams and most of his family for more than 3 decades, they are all people of impeccable character.
Mr. Williams represented the ‘then & now’ of Provo being a pioneer and having played such a key role in the early development of this island, if that is not very passionate love for this country than the ocean is dry.
It is so sad that he has left us, rest in eternal peace Mr. Williams.
To Sonia & Sam and Mr. Percy’s entire family please have our heartfelt condolences.
God’s grace is sufficient!

Manfred & Daphne Smith & Fam.

This is a hard one, our heart felt condolences and sincere prayers will continue for the family.
God will take care of you Sister Sally
Rest in the arms of your Lord Bro. Percy

O yes He cares, I know He cares. I know my Saviour cares. Words fail me to say how deeply saddened I am at the loss of such a dear beloved husband, father grandfather, brother, uncle, friend Bro Percy Williams, whom I knew and loved.
My sympathy and prayers to Rev. Sally Williams and the entire family.  God cares and He will bring you through.

To quote from President Obama's eulogy at Mother Emanuel's Church: "What a good man. Sometimes I think that's the best thing to hope for when you're eulogized -- after all the words and recitations and resumes are read, to just say someone was a good man." Mr. Percy was a Good Man. It was my honour to know, but all too briefly. The world is a lesser place without him, but he made it a better place. He shall forever remain in our hearts. May the peace of God be with the entire family. 
-Eddinton Powell

Father God comfort the family in this time of sorrow,give them the strength to face each day going forward, it is my prayer for Gods mercies to sustain and keep you all in this time.

Rest in Peace
Brother Percy

I am loss for words....my heartfelt condolences to my longest friend Sonia sister Sally and all the children grandchildren and great grands.....it is like a dream.....how I would like to be there like Sonia is always there for me.....I am praying for yall and sending virtual hugs and kisses

When peace like a river attended my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well with my soul...
To the Williams family, I am am broken by the sudden passing of
Brother Percy.
It is my prayer that the mercies of God sustain and keep all of you in perfect peace.
May his life’s work be a testimony for us all.
Rest In Peace Brother Percy
Eunece S.A.Morris

As I look at this, I am crying. You have such a positive influence in my life. Each time i achieved something, I see you among my Turks family, saying "Well Done MD, you are going to be such an outstanding youngman ". I have never let go of how much love and care you showed me. RIP my dear church uncle. From Michael-David

Dear LORD please give YOUR Peace to still love and forgive, when our hearts hurt so much for our loved brother. LORD take care of my dear Sister Sally, the children, and all his friends.
