Kohen Diego Williams, born March 8, 2005, will be greatly missed by his family and friends. Kohen lived more in 3 years of life than many do in a life time. He taught us many life lessons during the time we were blessed with him. ohen lived like there was no tomorrow and never allowed fear to keep him from doing the things he wanted to do the most. He never missed a moment to say, “I love you.”
