Dierre Maureece Williams was born on April 6, 2003 in Akron, Ohio. Dierre was a genuine, kind-hearted, and radiant soul whose life was tragically cut short June 7, 2025.

He brought light into every room and left a lasting impression on everyone he met. Dierre attended Leggett, Innes, and East High School, where he consistently demonstrated academic excellence—earning multiple awards for maintaining perfect grades, impressively without ever needing to bring books home. He was also a proud member of the National Junior Honor Society.

Dierre participated in basketball, track, boxing and wrestling during his school years. After graduating with honors, he was dedicated to the gym. He loved working out. Dierre also showed an entrepreneurial spirit from a young age by starting his own lawn care business with his father. As he grew older, Dierre continued to cultivate his business mindset. He launched a rental car business, independently purchasing several vehicles with plans to expand. Dierre was always thinking ahead, researching new strategies, and exploring ways to grow and improve—not only in business but in life.

Dierre was known for his generosity and selflessness—he would give without hesitation to those in need. In his free time, Dierre loved gaming online, he enjoyed rapping, listening to music — especially NBA YoungBoy. He was always into learning new things and finding ways to better himself.

Above all, he cherished spending time with his family and was a devoted uncle, the “firm” uncle forming close bonds with his nieces and nephews and loving them as if they were his own children.

A life gone too soon, yet so beautifully lived. Though Dierre’s time here was short, he filled it with love, purpose, and authenticity. His presence brought light, and his spirit left an imprint on every heart he touched. While the pain of losing him is deep, there is peace in knowing he lived fully, loved deeply, and left this world better than he found it. His journey may have ended early, but his impact will last forever.

Dierre leaves to cherish his memory: his loving parents Tiffany Ely; Derrick (Timisha) Williams; his siblings, Dominque (Lai), Dariane, Dasia, Derrick II, and Deanna; and his beloved nieces and nephews, Derrick III, Dionnah, Tysean, Da’Miyah, Tristan, Karlee, Miliana, Dai’or, Carsen, De’Ziyar, Kali, and King Graysen — each of whom he loved as if they were his own.

He is also survived by his beloved grandmothers, grandfathers, great-grandparents, a host of aunts, uncles, cousins & friends.
