Chazz Edman Williams was the second son born to Dawnielle (Hankerson) Williams and Charles E. Williams Jr. on August 1, 1998 in Webster, TX.  He passed away on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2024, in Pasadena, TX. 

Chazz attended Hightower High School (Missouri City, TX), Indian River High School (Chesapeake, VA), Green Run High School (Virginia Beach, VA) and ultimately graduated from Stephenson High School (Stone Mountain, GA) in May 2016. He was a member of the football teams for Hightower, Green Run and Stephenson High Schools.

Since his childhood Chazz loved to play football. At the early age of 5, Chazz started his sports journey playing on a host of little league football and basketball teams.  He achieved a spot on the AAU basketball team and traveled with his coaches and teammates of whom most of them he was still friends with until his passing.

Chazz was loved by a host of family and friends.  He was quiet and had a calming demeanor but was definitely understood.  His presence was known as soon as he stepped in the room.   Chazz would often reminisce about the times he had growing up in Texas.  No matter where he lived, his heart was in Texas and he always found his way back to his hometown to visit family and friends.

Chazz leaves his heartbeat to his 7-year-old daughter, Nahari Miller.  She is often referred to as his twin.  Chazz will forever be a guardian angel to Nahari as she carries on his legacy.  Chazz leaves his siblings with the good times they shared to hold on to forever in their hearts.  Chazz leaves his words of encouragement to his mom who he loved dearly.  He will always hold a special place in her heart.
