Obituary of Mark R. Willams

Mark R. Williams, 58, died peacefully on November 5, 2023 after a long illness. He was raised in Spencerport, NY. His last residence was with EPI (Empowering People's Independence) in Henrietta, NY. 

Although Mark had some disabilities, he was always up for any social event. Those who know Mark might recognize his 2 favorite sayings: "Thank God no snow!" Or, "Smile. It makes people wonder what you're up to." Mark was always friendly to everyone, including strangers. He loved being around people. If someone was having a difficult time, Mark would be the person to reach out to help. 

Mark is predeceased by his father, Alvin Williams, his mother, Joan Williams, his brothers, Kevin Williams and Darryl Williams. He is survived by his sisters, Jackie (Tom Wulf) Williams of Byron, NY and Teresa Williams of Ireland, and his brother, Patrick Williams of Spencerport, NY and a small extended family of relatives. He's also survived by his "adopted brothers" from EPI: Tracy Bartkowiak, Terry Hooper, Kirk Matthews, Brian Polle, and Erik Weslowski. 

We thank all EPI employees for their care of Mark as he was a resident for over 20 years. A special thank you goes out to Dave Zambito.

There are no calling hours. Private interment will be at the convenience of the family in early December. In lieu of flowers, donations in Mark's name can be made to EPI at www.epiny.org/get-involved/give/donate/.
