Gareth Daryl Williams

May 3, 1980 - March 2, 2021

Gareth Daryl Williams, age 40, died on Tuesday March 2, 2021 at Grand Strand Medical Center due to injuries sustained after an unforeseeable tree accident- despite the greatest efforts made by his surgeon and staff. Gareth was born on May 3, 1980, in Johannesburg, South Africa to Sheila Lorraine Williams and Daniell Gerard Williams who still reside in South Africa. He is survived by his family, Jessica, Adrian(7), Samara(6) and Rory(2) Williams of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina as well as his sister, Saranne Williams and Tamryn-Jean Hannemann of Johannesburg, South Africa, in addition to countless loved ones and friends. Gareth was a multifaceted, dynamic, charismatic man. He made friends everywhere he went and was a likeable human being, which is reflected in the way people remember him now either for his plating of food, his combination of components in his cooking, the way he carried himself both in his professional and personal interactions and in the latest part of his life, as the tree climber and businessman that he was. He carried himself with a level of confidence that almost everyone who knew him recognized by the way he walked. He had a little bounce to his walk like he was walking on the balls of his feet at all times. This confidence was only exaggerated by the height of his stature and the shape of his head- recognizable anywhere. For the last year, he was trailed by his best friend and spirit animal, Megera- who is beside herself at the loss of his presence. Family and Friends are invited to attend an outdoor Event of Remembrance on Sunday, March 14 from 11am-2pm at a private residence located at 4341 Pine Lane, Myrtle Beach, SC.
