It is with a heavy heart that I share with the family’s permission that David Williams has passed away unexpectedly. The family is asking for privacy at this time while Angie is traveling home from Australia and Allison & Jamie are driving in from South Georgia. Words cannot express the tremendous loss felt not only by the Region 6 community, but the field trial sport as a whole. David went above and beyond to contribute to our sport, his passion for field trialing was insurmountable. Please pray for David’s family and friends during this time of grief. Funeral arrangements will be posted when they are available.
