Glen Ray Williamson

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Glenwood Ray Williamson, a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and community member, who departed this life on Sunday, November 1st, 2026, at the age of 70. Born on Saturday, September 15th, 1956, Glen was a lifelong resident of Nelson, Virginia, where he touched the lives of many with his generous spirit and unwavering love for his family and friends.

Glen is preceded in death by his loving life partner, Barbara Hall; his parents, Ray Hoover Williamson and Gladys Williamson; and his cherished son, Cheyenne Campbell. He leaves behind a legacy of love and dedication embodied by his surviving children: Ashley Bees (Jason), Amanda Teel (Kenny), James Campbell (Tonya), and Alicia Campbell. His memory will also be cherished by his 13 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren, including Taylor Claiborne, as well as his loyal canine companions, Willie and Biscuit. His siblings, Patricia Duckworth (Merk) and George Scott Williamson (Sandy), also mourn his passing.

Known for his passionate love of rabbit hunting and riding in his mud jeep "Lil Joe," Glen was a man of simple pleasures, enjoying time spent in the great outdoors and cherishing every moment with his family. His trips camping and vacationing are fondly remembered by all who accompanied him. A farmer and a great contractor, Glen took pride in teaching others his trade, sharing his knowledge, and contributing to the community's growth and well-being.

Funeral services for Glen Williamson will be held at the Nelson Baptist Church in Nelson, VA, on Sunday, November 8th, 2026, from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm. A graveside service will follow at the Newton Family Cemetery, located on Newton Farm Road in Nelson, VA, where he will be laid to rest alongside those who preceded him. Arrangements have been entrusted to Watkins Cooper Lyon Funeral Home.

As a community, we mourn the loss of a man whose life was testament to the values of hard work, kindness, and family devotion. Glen's spirit will live on in the hearts of those who knew him, and he will be missed deeply by all.

May he rest in eternal peace.
