Mr. Brandon McKinley Williams, 30, of Clover, SC, passed away Wednesday, January 28, 2026.

Brandon was born March 25, 1995, in Indianapolis, IN to Isaac Allen Williams and Lori Eileen Pierce LaRussa.  He was employed with True Homes. He was preceded in death by a grandfather, Robert “Bob” Pierce and his uncle, Scott Pierce.

Survivors are his parents, Lori & Barry (stepfather) LaRussa of Clover, SC and Isaac (father)& Amanda Williams of Maiden, NC; sister Brooke LaRussa Torres-Valentine (Jonathon) of Orlando, FL; step brothers Evan Brown (Taylor) and Logan Brown (Tamya); maternal grandmother Ethel “Lou” Pierce of Indianapolis, IN; paternal grandparents Allen & Delora Williams of Whitesburg, KY; Aunts Laura Lee Turner (Steve) and Shanon Williams (Eric):  Cousins, Emily Philpot (Cody), Blake Bartley(Bailey) and his four legged furry best friends,  Marley Man and Camber-Jean.

Brandon was an amazing young man and an exceptional carpenter just like his grandfather.  He had a passionate love for fast cars and enjoyed the NHRA racing. Surprisingly, he loved to cook and was awesome at it.

Oh, what a personality?  He would give you the shirt of his back, the last dime in his pocket if you needed it. But best of all he always had a way of giving you a good laugh and a goofy smile.  He was very analytical, having deep conversation usually ended in some kind of debate, with him leaving you to walk away scratching your head.

Brandon’s life mattered, it had exceptional meaning and the love he shared with each person he came in contact with was real and everlasting.
