Montgomery, Alabama
U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville and others are sharing their condolences after the drowning death of Auburn University football chaplain Chette Williams.“Heartbroken to hear the news about Chette Williams. Brother Chette was a remarkable man who led hundreds of young people to the Lord through the years. He was the architect of the 2004 Hard Fighting soldiers theme that turned into a national movement. His leadership has been a steady part of Auburn athletics for more than two decades.
I am thankful that we recently had the opportunity to catch up. Auburn wouldn’t be what it is today without him. My thoughts and prayers are with Brother Chette’s family, along with those impacted by his ministry through the years. He will be deeply missed, but his legacy will live on in the lives he touched,” Tuberville said.
Williams, who was 61, drowned near Kowaliga Restaurant at Lake Martin on Sunday. Investigators say he and a friend arrived by boat to the restaurant when they found out it was closed for a private event. They say Williams tried to be back onto the boat but fell into the water. His body was recovered Sunday night.
“Chette Williams was the voice so many us had to have in times of need. He single handedly changed that football facility when he arrived. Rest easy Brother Chette. I hope you experience the peace and comfort you brought so many others on this Earth.”
