McKale Rylan Williams

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of McKale Rylan Williams, a beautiful, kind, and funny young soul who left us far too soon. Born in Federal Way, Washington, McKale moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, with his mother as an infant. He was a vibrant light in the lives of everyone who knew him.

McKale is survived by his beloved daughter, Eden Ann Hermanson; his loving mother, Sheri Williams; his father, Sergio Park; and his cherished sisters, Kya Clawson and Olivia Park. He also leaves behind his grandparents, Jackie and Chris Pappas, Scott and Candi Williams, Kim Smiley, Richard and Michelle Park; uncles and aunts Jesse and Rebecca Park, Katie Williams, and Keith Irey; as well as his very special cousins, David, Chloee, and Gabe.

Great aunts and uncles, Bernadette and Kelly Corbett, Tina and Matt Simpson, John Pappas, Steve and Katie Pappas and Kathy Self, Many Family Members in Washington: He will also be missed by his great-grandparents David Jaramillo, Linda J Irey Jean ( Dick ) Williams and countless friends.

As the first grandson on both sides of his family, McKale won the popularity contests hands down and was loved immensely. He had a deep love for nature, enjoying hiking and fishing, and he always made time for the Drum Circle on Sundays. His family, along with his chosen family, was his heart, and he was the best big brother anyone could ask for, often having his sisters and mom on his mind.

McKale was known for filling his room with friends, where they would gather to figure out life amid laughter and unforgettable humor. His infectious spirit brought joy to all who crossed his path.

The space left by his loss is indescribable. We want to remember McKale for his heart, his joy, his smile, and his loud, crazy yell. He always ended his phone calls with, "I love you, be safe," and he would respond to his grandparents' "I love you" with, "I love you more, can't change your mind."

A celebration of McKale’s life will be held on Friday, October 10, 2025, at 5:30 PM at Memorial Mountain View Mortuary, 3115 Bengal Blvd, Cottonwood Heights, UT.

Rest in peace, dear McKale— Daddy, son, grandson, brother, nephew, and friend. You will forever remain in our hearts.
