Senate Resolution No. by Senator Miguez expresses heartfelt condolences on the passing of Michael Williams, who died on August 12, 2024, while attending the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Born on October 31, 1961, in New Orleans, Louisiana, Michael was a resident of Baton Rouge and earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Louisiana State University. He dedicated over 20 years of his career as a computer programmer at the Entergy River Bend Power Plant and was known for his unique gun collection, which fostered friendships across the country.

In addition to his professional achievements, Michael was a passionate advocate for the constitutional rights of Americans, particularly through his work with the National Rifle Association in defense of the First and Second Amendments. He was an active member of the Republican State Central Committee of the Republican Party of Louisiana, where he focused on recruiting candidates for public office and promoting legislation aimed at preserving individual freedoms and improving government efficiency. Michael is survived by his wife, Jan Wilson, and their daughter, Jessica Williams. The resolution concludes with a directive to transmit a copy to Jan Wilson.
