Jace Allen
Williams
March 9, 1997 — September 26, 2019
Jace Allen Williams at the young age of 22 passed away on Thursday September 26, 2019 at his home in Brandon surrounded with his family. Jace was born on March 9, 1997 in Hastings Michigan. He lived in Hastings with his twin brother Jade and older brother Raven, along with his Mother Satin. After living in Hastings and then in Indiana he moved to Florida in 2011 with his brothers and mother.
Jace went to school in Punta Gorda when first moving down here. Then in 2013 he started his High School years at East Bay High in Riverview.
Jace was the center of attention, He was a joker. He cared for his brothers even though they would fit over who did better on a video game or who did the dishes last. He loved animals and loved to be dared to do things. He was so silly. He loved swimming, he would go under the water and jump up real fast with his eyes and mouth wide open, it was so funny. He loved fast cars as most guys do. He was in NJROTC during the short months at East Bay, he goals were to join the Army after graduation. He did well in his classes and was very out going, some would say a social butterfly.. He would walk into the room you couldn't help but smile no matter the mood that you were in. He would try and make up jokes.. most of them were not funny, it was funnier that they were so bad. I did attempt to teach him how to drive, omg he really was playing too many video games cause he tried to drive the car like GTA. So needless to say that was a short lesson. When it would rain he would run outside fully dressed with no shoes and run around with his arms open wide, lay in the puddles of water then come in the house and hug me from behind and just laugh so hard. He was very protective of his twin Jade and even Raven, there is nothing that he wouldn't do for them
On Dec 6 th 2013 Jace was walking across the street, from corner to corner and was hit by a car that did not see him crossing. From that day to his last day he was bed ridden. He suffered TBI along with many other things. He required 24/7 total bedside care. Several hospital visits and surgery's and uncertainties. I was told he would not make it long, but I didn't except that. I studied and trained, researched and lived and breathed Jace and everything about him inside and out, I wanted to give him the best care I could. I brought him home and made it his. He was the center of everything, when you walked through the front door Jace was the first thing you seen. Jace had nursing care round the clock, and when there were no nurses available then his mother cared for him. Jace could not speak, could not move on his own, with everything that he had gone through and was still going through each day every second of the day he would look at you and smile, and his eyes would light up and sparkle.
Jace was not able to enjoy the pleasures that most teenage boys get to go through and missed out on so many things, but he fought every day to try and just make it through that moment. I do think that he understood what we would say to him, maybe not everything but he knew he was loved and I know he was grateful for having a family and friends that didn't give up on him and didn't listen to the doctors when they said he wouldn't make it, or that it was going to be too hard, you cant do it or we have done all we can and then finding out that they had not done all they could. Every month for a year a donation was made in Jace's name to John Hopkins All Children's Foundation because I know that he would have wanted to help other families. One of the things Jace loved to do is watch car shows and Baywatch with one of his favorite nurses Mike. He would have a huge smile on his face every time Mike would tell him stories about fishing. Jace would also love watching hockey with his other favorite nurse Dianne, well I think he loved watching how she would scream at the tv and swing her arms every where. He would give her a funny look when she would talk for him. I think to Jace knew that when either of them would be working that it was going to be entertaining.
Jace was preceded in death by his Grand Father James Bandfield, Aunt Augusta Defer, Best Dog ever Luna Williams. Jace is survived by his mother Satin Williams, Brothers Raven Williams, (Twin} Jade Williams, Matthew Williams and Josh Ramirez, Grand Mother Oleta Smith, Step Grand Father Robin Eaker, Uncle Gary Smith, Aunt Joy Marble, Cousins Alex Marble and Spencer Marble, Other best dog ever Ziva Williams and the newest addition Hero Williams, and cant forget his new friends Layne and RJ McKernan, as well as so many more friends and family.
Jace is my son and normally how it goes is that the child learns from the parent, in this case I have to say that I have learned so much from him. He is and always will be my Hero. My children are the breath in my lungs and I am nothing without them. He has helped me be a better mother and better daughter and better women. Jace it has been an honor to be your mother I am so very lucky to have you and I am so proud of you and I love you. God needed his Super Hero. I will see you again my baby boy.
