Gage Riley Williams, age 18, of Hampton, Florida passed away on July 31, 2026. He was born in Gainesville, Florida on January 13, 2008, to his loving parents, Jacob John Williams and Samantha Truman. Gage was raised in Keystone Heights, Florida, and was currently attending Florida Virtual School, preparing to graduate with the Class of 2027. From a young age, Gage developed a deep love for mechanics—a passion passed down to him by his father. Naturally gifted with his hands, Gage loved tinkering with anything that had a motor. In addition to his jachnastudies, he worked with his mother at LMB Land Clearing in Green Cove Springs as an off-road dump truck driver. In his free time, Gage was happiest out in the open air, riding ATVs and spending hours turning wrenches on vehicles and his four-wheelers. Gage was deeply loved by his family and friends, and his presence and fun-loving spirit will be forever missed by all who knew him. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Kenneth Truman and Vicki Brown.

Gage is survived by his loving parents, Jacob John Williams of Keystone Heights, FL; mother, Samantha Truman of Hampton, FL; sisters, Brianna Williams, Hadley Moody, and Maria Mynster; brother, Christopher Truman; paternal grandparents, Thomas (Mary) Williams and Sharon Whitehead; along with several extended family members and dear friends.
