As an construction project manager of multimillion dollar projects for MNAA, Rick wielded tremendous authority over the architects, engineers, and contractors executing his projects. In my experience, many men of lesser character give in to the temptation to wield that authority as a bully with a club or to extract personal gain. Not Rick. In my experience he was the fairest, most just, and ethical PM of that level I have ever met. He knew that everyone makes mistakes, and all projects have problems. Yet, to the greatest extent possible, he managed projects with the goal of equitable solutions without laying blame. Observing him "in the trenches" always doing what is right instead of ranting about "who is right" earned the respect of all. I aspire to match Rick's level of character, warmth, and professionalism. I miss him very much.

My condolences to Rick' family, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Rick was not only a working partner at MNAA, but also a true friend outside of work. He will forever be missed here on this earth. God deemed his work here was complete and took him to live forevermore in glory.

I will be forever grateful that your family lived across the street from my family for a number of years in Kentucky. Not only were you wonderful neighbors, you were our good friends. Rick was a good man. Stacy, you are one of my best friends. My heart is broken for you and the kids, and I pray God will comfort all of you. I love you all. Prayers!

Rick always had a smile and polite “hello or how ya doing”. Rick was an inspiration to me in his own special way of few words but you knew he was kind and humble. Rick will be missed by many, may the family have warm thoughts and peace in their lives.

Dear Williams family, There is no doubt this loss hits hard. Rick was just an acquaintance of mine but a memorable one in all the best ways. We were in the 2014 class of Leadership DH and were assigned to the same team for our community project - building a fence and installing a sign at the community gardens near Heartland. (If you go down to the soccer fields, the garden is just to the right.) Our project day was cold, wet and muddy and we all trudged through with smiles....largely influenced by Rick. He seemed to have such a gentle spirit and warm heart. It was like he left people wanting more of him. In the little time I interacted with him, his words and actions showed his love for the Lord. You are in my prayers. May our Heavenly Father comfort you through the days, weeks, and months ahead. May you find joy in the many memories you have of him. A loss like this never goes away, but with time you learn how to carry it. Amy Maloney Kone

Rick Williams was a huge supporter of my growth in business, at the Nashville Airport. Over time I came to cherish Rick as the older doting brother, guiding me on the right path. I also got to spend outside time with Rick and with our wives, which was outstanding and extremely personal, for me. Rick to me loved people, loved helping others and instilled in me to do the same. I will deeply miss Rick and pray strength, for The Williams Family… E.J. Odom

I had the pleasure of working with Rick at CVG. It didn't take long to know what was important to Rick; you knew he loved the Lord, Stacey, Erik and Kristen. He always wore a smile and kept us in stitches with funny stories about the kids. A few years after he went back home, my daughter and I were traveling through Nashville. He took the time to show us around and we enjoyed our visit. Our hearts and prayers are with Rick's family.

I remember when we had a 4th of July/ Jim’s 60th birthday party and Rick came with Stacy. He wrote me a great recipe for Longhorn Steaks. I think of him every time I look through my recipes and remember what a great time we all had. He was a great husband to Stacy and a great father. He will be missed by all who knew him. Prayers to family and friends, wish we could come, but Georgia has spikes in COVID and we are being extremely careful. God Bless you all.
