Michael Alyn Williamson
Obituary
Michael Alyn Williamson, born in San Jose, CA in 1950, peacefully passed away at home in Post Falls, ID, on June 13, 2025. He was the beloved only son of the late Floyd and Joyce ( nee Smith) Williamson.
Mike grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he spent his childhood playing the accordion, marching in parades, and enjoying years of Little League Baseball. As a student at Watsonville High School, he excelled in track, setting the school record for the 100-yard dash-a record that still stands today. He later graduated from Bellarmine College Preparatory in San Jose, CA in 1968, attended Santa Clara University, and served in the Army National Guard.
A lifelong car enthusiast, Mike had a deep love for Harley Davidson motorcycles, owning several throughout his life. He found joy in long rides, particularly one back to Watsonville, CA to visit his lifelong friend Greg Caput and support his political campaign.
He was a born-again Christian who loved the Lord and spent the last two decades of his life studying the Bible.
Following in his uncle's footsteps, Mike pursued a career with the United States Postal Service, where he dedicated many years of service before retiring.
He will be lovingly laid to rest beside his late wife, Mae ( nee Swaboda)-the love of his life.
Mike's greatest joy was his family. He leaves behind his cherished sons: Joel Ephraim Williamson, Luke Azariah Williamson, Jesse Aaron Williamson (wife, Stephanie), and Joshua Michael Williamson (wife, Tiffany).
His beloved grandchildren: James, Weatherly, Ashlynn, Jacob, Tanner, Sadie, Jaelynn, Naomi, Hannah, Abagail, Eden, Kloey, Alexia, Kaydence, and Ezekiel.
His great-grandchildren: Benjamin and Oakley.
All of his family continue to live in Post Falls, ID.
Mike is also survived by his dear siblings: Susan Randal (Nathan) of Cary, NC, Annie Smith (Guy) of Justin, TX, Judith Williamson (Mark) of Monterey, CA, and Wendy Williamson, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
