Presley Owen Williams

Presley Owen Williams, age 89, of Benton, passed away on Saturday, October 17, 2026. He was born September 29, 1937 in Paron, Arkansas, to Troy and Evola Hester Williams. 

Presley came from humble beginnings in Paron, and those roots shaped him for the rest of his life. He carried the values of hard work and gratitude with him all his life. He was an avid outdoorsman from the time he could walk. He loved fishing for bream and crappie at his lake house, and he loved hunting whitetail deer and running his dogs.

He retired early from Teletype Corp. to pursue his passion for land development, where his entrepreneurial spirit truly took hold. He was a faithful       provider for his family, a devoted believer in God, and a member of Forest Hills Missionary Baptist Church.

Presley was a firm believer in feeding people in need and was a generous supporter of the Arkansas Foodbank.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Mary K. Williams; his brother, Russell Williams; and his sister, DeWana Butler.

He is survived by his son and daughter -in-law, Dustin (Kylie) Williams; daughters, Suzanne (Stephen) Ybarra, Kelley (Carol) Williams, Valerie Williams, and Deanna (Ted) Melton; his brother, Shelby Williams; three grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.

Graveside services will be 11:00 AM Friday at Pipkin Cemetery in Benton. Minister will be Bro. Marcus Blakley.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Arkansas Foodbank.
