Malik Williams, a beloved son, brother, and friend, passed away unexpectedly on December 23, 2024, in his hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas. Born on March 12, 1995, Malik was a vibrant spirit whose love for life touched everyone he encountered.

He is survived by his devoted mother Allison Carmack and step-father Anthony Carmack; his father Ted Williams and step-mother Shannon Williams; his cherished sister Mia Williams; as well as numerous family members who adored him deeply: Uncle Adrian Brigman; grandmother Trish Seidenschwarz; grandfather Dale Seidenschwarz; aunts Brandi Williams, Val Williams, Jerve Williams; cousins Derrick Banks Jr., Keshawn Mclennan, Keshara Mclennan, Tramale Wright, Samiya Johnson, Brylee Johnson and Kira Brigman. He was preceded in death by his brother Brandon Brigman and grandparents Rita Williams and Charles Brigman. Malik also mourned the loss of cousin Samuel Lee Johnson III (Trey) and uncle Damon Williams.

Malik had an adventurous soul that thrived outdoors—he found joy near water whether it be lakes or rivers—and embraced every opportunity to explore nature's beauty. His laughter echoed through the trees as he shared countless memories with friends who were like family to him. Malik’s warmth radiated from within—a smile so bright it could light up any room he entered. He never met a stranger but instead welcomed everyone into his heart with open arms.

His caring nature made him one of the most giving individuals you could ever meet. Whether lending an ear to listen or offering support during tough times—Malik embodied kindness in all aspects of life. The bonds he formed with those around him were unbreakable treasures that will forever remain etched in their hearts.
