Frank Williams Jr. (May 29, 1932 – July 13, 2006) was a gridiron football player who played for the BC Lions and Los Angeles Rams. His parents were Frank Williams and Elya M. Glenn of Texarkana, TX. He was one of four children. The nurses wrote his name incorrectly on the certificate, which read, Frank 'Jr.' Williams. He actually didn't have a middle name, he was a junior, named after his father, Frank Williams. He went by Frank James Williams or Frank J. Williams. He played college football at Pepperdine University.[1][2][3] He was drafted to the Lions right out of Pepperdine. He had 6 children; which included Shelia Williams, Casandra Williams, and Michelle Williams. He died July 13, 2006, and is buried in Kent, King County, WA at Tahoma National Cemetery.
