His 25 years with us were not enough, but the impact he made with his smile, his kindness and his amazing art will be with us forever. He is survived by his father, J.

He grew up in Fuquay-Varina, treasured by his beloved “Granny Dear” and “Grand Bud”, Willie and Carter Williams; and his aunt; uncle; and cousin, Catherine, John and Ann Tucker. He also leaves behind his great uncle, Benjamin Keaton; and his mother, Connie Cameron. For the last ten years, he was a loving part of the blended Williams/Sullivan family which included step mom, Colleen; brothers, Ryan, Tim, and Matt; sisters, Katie and Megan; siblings in law, Sophia, Claudia, Emily, and Adam; and many nieces and nephews who loved to play with “Uncle Dan”. He is also survived by the love of his life, Gloria Crystal, and the many friends he has accumulated through the years. He attended Lincoln Heights elementary, Fuquay Middle, Fuquay HS and graduated from Apex HS in 2007, where he wrestled and began to perfect his incredible artistic abilities. These past few years he has become one of the most respected tattoo artists of the area, and has literally “left his mark” on thousands of people by helping them create a personal piece of artwork that will be with them forever.
Whether you loved him as a family member, friend, classmate, or client….. we will all treasure the personal memories we have of him and be thankful for the time we shared with him. Thank you for whatever joy you brought to his life and what you will do to help keep his memory alive.
