Sean Williams: Early Life and Family

Sean Williams was born on September 13, 1986, in Houston, Texas. His father’s name is Ronald Williams. Likewise, his mother’s name is Audrey Garrett. The player also has two siblings; Myles Garrett and Brea Garrett.

Sean grew up with his mother, Audrey, and stepfather, Lawrence Garrett, in Arlington, Texas. His siblings are his half-siblings. Sadly, Sean spent little time with his biological father.

Roland, his biological father, lived in Houston, Texas. Williams grew up in a happy family despite being separated from his father at a young age.

The player’s mother deserves credit for leaving no stone unturned in providing him with a new proper, and functional family environment.

From a young age, Sean was enthralled by basketball. In his hometown, he used to participate in community service. However, the player did not play organized basketball until he was fifteen.

Sporting Family

Sean is not the only person interested in sports in his family. Both his half-brother and half-sister are athletes.

Myles Garrett, Sean’s half-brother, is a professional football player for the National Football League’s Cleveland Browns (NFL). He is well-known in sports and is frequently praised for his defensive abilities.

Brea Garrett, Williams’ half-sister, was a track and field athlete in his hometown of Texas. Throughout her professional career, she has won numerous titles and championships. Brea made history by winning the NCAA 20-pound throw championship in 2014.

Given the siblings’ penchant for sports, we can conclude that passion and talent run in the family.

Coming from a sporting family, it’s no surprise that Sean became a professional basketball player and one of the most famous NBA players.

Williams averaged 16 points, ten rebounds, and six blocked shots per game for Mansfield High School.

Despite his success, Sean did not start paying for organized basketball until he was 15. During his senior year, he was named the district’s top newcomer.
