Baby Brycen Ty’Meir Williams was born on March 13, 2015, weighing 5 pounds, 10 ounces, at 12:57 a.m. in Norfolk. “Bryce” or “Chocolate Drop,” as we called him, gained his wings on March 18, 2016. Although his time here on earth was short, the impact on everyone he came in contact with was beyond remarkable.

Brycen was preceded in death by his paternal grandmother, Edna Johnson, and grandfather, James Williams.

Brycen attended Lady Bug class at The Children’s Center Early Head Start. He was very well known as the “Facebook Baby,” and his contagious smile would brighten up anyone’s day.
