Cardwell described Williams as a loving and "kindred spirit."

“He just had a pleasant demeanor. He was the type of person when you left his presence you were glad he was there,” Cardwell said.

Cardwell said Williams allowed Norris Rochelle Jr., 23, to stay in his home. Rochelle is now accused of killing Williams.
