It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Jerry Noel Williams, on June 20, 2026, at the age of 73. Born on November 28, 1952, Jerry was a man who embraced life with a heart full of kindness and a spirit of curiosity. He had a wealth of stories to tell, always asking questions, remembering details, and showing genuine interest in others. Jerry brought laughter and joy into the lives of those around him.

After graduating from Withrow High School in 1971, Jerry went on to proudly serve his country in the United States Army. While stationed in Korea, he met the love of his life, Myong Ja Ko.  Their love blossomed, and he worked tirelessly to help her become a U.S. citizen. On July 26, 1976, they were married surrounded by family and friends. Together, they shared nearly 50 wonderful years full of love, laughter, and support.

A devoted father, Jerry was blessed with two loving daughters, Ahnna Noel (Ryan Watson) and Donna Noel (Benjamin Spear), as well as a bonus daughter Leanna (Jason) Chasteen, who could call on their dad at any time. He poured his heart into raising them with patience, discipline, and a wonderful sense of humor. Jerry's legacy extends into the hearts of his cherished grandchildren, Ryland and Riley Watson, who affectionately called him "Pabu." Being a grandfather brought Jerry immense joy, and he treasured every moment spent celebrating milestones and creating memories with them.

Jerry leaves behind a loving family who will forever remember him as a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather. His absence will be felt deeply by all who knew him, as he radiated warmth and kindness in every interaction. His unwavering love for his family and friends will forever be cherished.

In reflection of Jerry's life, a funeral service will be held at Frederick Funeral Home, located at 2553 Banning Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45239 on July 3rd, 2026, at 11:00 AM. We invite family and friends to join us in celebrating the incredible life of a man who touched so many hearts. May his memory inspire us to carry forward his love and spirit.
