Malik Tejon Elijah Williams was born November 9, 1996 at Swedish Hospital to Contessa Williams Marvin Walker, Sr. His mother met Marvin Phelps when he was 3 weeks old.
Williams was smart, funny and curious. He was always taking things apart and putting them back together.
Williams was injured and as a result was paralyzed from the chest down. Being in a wheelchair did not slow him down. With the help of stepdad, Marvin Phelps and Bill and Pat Bush Williams flourished, joining the Sonics Wheelchair Basketball Team travelling the country.
Williams was back in school and started a job in a welding. He will be truly missed.
He leaves behind his parents, step-parents, two brothers, five sisters and his grandmother. A host of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. Williams had a light that will continue to touch everyone that knew him.
