MKE Legend and Lupus Warrior, Dymond Williams, fought a good fight. While being diagnosed with Lupus at 17, she never let that stop her from pushing. Each and every day she woke up swinging. As Lupus attacked her body severely through many different organs she kept going.
Dymond has had multiple strokes, heart issues, and many other health problems all due to Lupus. She even had to re-learn how to speak properly. Such a young girl going through the most.
I remember many years of her in and out of the hospital, feeling like a test dummy, knowing the doctors didn’t have the answers. They knew what the problem was but couldn’t find the solution. Part of this is because of just how different Lupus is person to person.
Dymond was a beautiful woman inside and out. She loved her family and friends. She was extremely passionate about kids. She took in many kids as her own.
She was one of the most supportive souls. She loved and loved hard. Dymond was rare. She was very angelic on earth, always trying to make sure the people she loved were well.
Dymond planned to do a lot more events while bringing awareness to Lupus. She loved to speak about Lupus on her socials whether she was feeling good or not. She often times gave real life updates of her hospitalizations and flares.
Dymond was truly a warrior. She woke up everyday and fought. She fought for the people she loved. She fought for the kids. She fought for her friends. Her presence will surely be missed but never forgotten.
Dymond, thank you for your fight. You inspired so many. You loved your city deeply. It was a blessing to be able to highlight you as a legend in the city and even more of a blessing to have had you as such a good friend. You truly blessed us with the 30 years of life that you had.
We will miss you forever and always love. We will never stop making Lupus Awareness a priority.
My deepest condolences to the family.
