David remained at GM until he graduated from the Flint Police Academy with his brother Mark. In 1991, David married Dawn Austin and from this union was born David R. ‘Pockets” Williams, II. His first love was his sons. David’s dedication to them was evident in all he did. He had many hobbies including, photography, chess and playing cards. He was a life-long loyal LA Lakers basketball fan. David was most known for his love and appreciation of beautiful cars and beautiful women. He was known to go beyond the call of duty as an officer, which was evident in his actions on February 22, 2008 while he stopped to investigate a traffic accident.
