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 related to early years:
“I believe that if we are to survive as a planet, we must teach this next generation to handle their own conflicts assertively and nonviolently. If in their early years our children learn to listen to all sides of the story, use their heads and then their mouths, and come up with a plan and share, then, when they become our leaders, and some of them will, they will have the tools to handle global problems and conflict.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
