Kenneth I. Williams, age 88, of Baldwinsville, New York, passed away peacefully at home on April 25, 2026, in the place he loved most. Born on November 18, 1937, Ken was a lifelong resident of Baldwinsville and a proud graduate of Baker High School, Class of 1956. He went on to serve his country honorably in the United States Air Force and the National Guard.
Ken shared a beautiful life with his beloved wife, Margo Williams (Cronk). Together, they built the home where they raised their family and created countless memories. They were happily married for 61 years until Margo’s passing in 2024. Ken and Margo found great joy in working side by side, decorating their home and tending to their many flower beds.
Ken was a highly skilled mechanic who could fix just about anything. He was known for his strong work ethic, his talent, and his willingness to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. In addition to his mechanical abilities, Ken was an excellent woodworker and took great pride in working outdoors, especially in his yard and gardens.
Above all, Ken cherished his family. He is survived by his three children: Alan Williams, Michelle Wagner, and Scott (Barbara) Williams. He was a proud and loving grandfather to five grandchildren: Emily, Andrew, and Hannah Williams; Hope (Brandon) McPeak; and Reilly Wagner. He is also survived by his sister-in-law, Sharon (Brian) Tolone, and brother-in-law, James Cronk, along with several beloved nieces and nephews: Brooke Anderson, Kelsey Cronk, Ryan Tolone, and Justin Cronk.
Ken will be remembered for his kindness, his steady presence, and the love he had for his family and home. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched and the memories he helped create. In accordance with Ken’s wishes, there will be no formal services. A celebration of Ken’s life will be held later this spring.
