Mrs. Williams shared a tribute post on Instagram:
"My Forever Angel, Trenton O'Brien Williams Jr. It's been extremely hard trying to process the saddest Hello and Goodbye that I've ever had to endure. Last Sunday night on 11/24/24; I welcomed your lifeless 4lb 8oz, 18.5in long little body at 11:38 pm. At only 35 weeks, your impactful and quick arrival didn't even give mommy time to get an epidural."
To note, after receiving a diagnosis of Trisomy 13, tragically they lost Trenton's twin earlier in the pregnancy. Nevertheless, Sondra had hope.
"I prayed and hoped that your diagnosis of Trisomy 13 wasn't true and wouldn't be the fate of my long-awaited beautiful Son-shine. My firstborn and only son, I've always wanted you. But God wanted and needed you more," she wrote.
Trent Williams, the 11x Pro Bowler and future first-ballot hall of famer, has been on the Inactive list, missing the last couple of games with an ankle injury.
That is, now Williams, who is a father of three daughters, is facing even tougher battles off the field.
"Being home without you in my arms has been quite an adjustment," Williams' wife said. "Knowing I will never be able to watch you grow older alongside your sisters has my eyes filled with tears... My heart is broken, and my arms are empty. But I know you'll always be near, watching over me and your sisters. And for that, my heart smiles with gratitude."
"Thank God for allowing us to bond for 35 weeks and for me to birth you so I could hold you in my arms. I'm at peace knowing you will never have to suffer... I am grateful to God for the time I shared with you. Trenton O'Brien Williams Jr., my sweet baby boy, we love you, our Forever Angel!"
In what has been a hard season for the 49ers, as Williams' teammate Charvarius Ward also devastatingly lost his one-year old daughter, Amani Joy, this year.
