Michael, affectionately known as Bubba, was born to Lisa and Ralph Williamson. Full of life and love, he was the glue that held the family together. At an early age, Michael accepted Christ and was an active member of Grace Temple Fellowship. He graduated from Cheraw High School. He was employed at Sonoco in Hartsville, SC. A man of God, father, son, uncle, brother, and friend are just some of the titles he wore so bravely and proudly.

The ones he leaves behind to mourn him are his parents; daughter, Journey Williamson; brother, Mitchell (Shetoria) McDuffie; sister, Carlisa (Joshua) Freeman; grandparents, Thomas and Martha Williamson; along with a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins who'll miss him dearly. Preceding him in death are his grandparents, Carl and Betty Jones.
