Ronald Anthony Williams, 70, of Brewster, MA, passed away on June 26, 2025. 

Ron Williams was a beloved musician, friend and mentor to students of all levels and abilities.  Ron was a beloved member of the Cape Cod music community. A gifted fingerstyle jazz guitarist and vocalist, Ron was a great teacher with a laid back warmth and personality. His gentle spirit, deep musical talent, and commitment to nurturing others left a lasting impact on countless students and listeners. Music was Ron's calling. 

Ron's musical choices come from the American songbook and various styles of rhythm and blues as well as singer songwriters of his generation. Armed with a warm baritone register against the back drop of his rhythmic and finger style approach to  accompaniment on guitar and/or piano.

In addition to his musical career, Ron worked for many years with adults with disabilities. His kindness, patience, and unwavering belief in the potential of every individual helped many to grow both personally and musically.
