Steven F. Williams passed away suddenly on October 21, 2018 while attending The Breeders Crown in the Poconos Pa. Born 5/2/58 in Fairfield, Iowa. Preceded in death by his mother, Evelyn Williams and father Johnnie Williams. Survived by his sons Joseph D. Williams 21 and Steven J. Williams 20. He is also survived by his brother Jim and wife Barb Williams of Libertyville, Iowa and sister JoAnn Wray and husband Mark of Columbia, Missouri. Nieces Ashley 31, Kelsey 26 and nephew Brandon 21. He also leaves behind hundreds of friends in the Standardbred Community and beyond.
Steve caught the Harness Racing bug and started his career at 18. Through the years he grew from a groom to a trainer developing top horses. At White Birch Farm as the farm manager he found a true passion bringing young horses into the world and overseeing their development. After the passing of his friend and farm owner Mike Parisi, Steve took on the responsibility of keeping the farm moving forward and he did just that. These past two years have been amazing for the farm and Steve had just returned home from the best sale in the farms history. With still 14 yearlings left to sell in two weeks everyone could tell just how proud Steve was with his accomplishments. Although he was always most proud of his own boys, his equine children was something he could share with the hundreds of true friends he made along his journey.
