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.
