James Malcolm Williams was a baptized Christian man who loved God and loved his family. Jim was in turn loved by his family and all who knew him and were close to him.

Jim was born February 6, 1941 at Melbourne, Florida. He is the third son of Henry Pascal Williams and Maurine Slaughter Williams. Jim is survived by his wife Linda Martin Williams and his son Garrett Thompson Williams of Corpus Christi, Texas; by his mother Maurine Williams and two brothers Robert and Carroll of Conway, Arkansas; and his brother John D. Williams of Austin, Texas. Jim was preceded in death by his sister Anne Williams  Wilson of Austin, Texas.

Jim attended one year of elementary school at the Lab School on the campus of Arkansas State Teacher's College, now UCA, in Conway, Arkansas. He graduated from Miami Senior High School in 1959 in Miami, Florida. He attended the University of Miami for one year, the University of Florida for two years and transferred to Texas A&M University in Kingsville, Texas where he earned a B.A. in Psychology. He completed a Masters program in Clinical Psychology at Texas Tech in Lubbock. Jim worked for ten years as a clinical psychologist in Corpus Christi, Texas. Jim made a career change and became a  management analyst for the better part of two decades with the U.S. Army at the Corpus Christi Army Depot where the Dept. of Defense overhauls most of the helicopters belonging to the various branches of the U.S. military.

Jim is descended from a number of pioneer families of Central Arkansas. The Duncans and Hutchesons on his father's side and the Slaughters and Walkers on his mother's side all entered Arkansas prior to the Civil War. His Williams ancestors settled in Arkansas in the 1870's.
