Early Years
Williams was born at Frederick Memorial Hospital in Frederick, Maryland to Charles Jeffery and Linda Williams. He was born about two weeks premature and was delivered by Caesarean section. His brother Michael was born in 1981. Andy's parents divorced in 1990. Williams was raised by his father and seldom saw his mother.
In August 1999, Charles' father wanted a change of scenery and moved with his son to Twentynine Palms, California. Then settled in Santee, California the following summer. In February 2001, a month before the shooting and one day before his 15th birthday, Williams learned that his best friend from Twentynine Palms was killed in a bus accident.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:
“Even today . . . experts, usually male, tell women how to be mothers and warn them that they should not have children if they have any intention of leaving their side in their early years. . . . Children don’t need parents’ full-time attendance or attention at any stage of their development. Many people will help take care of their needs, depending on who their parents are and how they chose to fulfill their roles.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
“But he answered his father, Listen! For all these years I have been working like a slave for you, and I have never disobeyed your command; yet you have never given me even a young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for him!’”
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 15:29,30.
