He was born Feb. 29, 1972, in White Plains, New York, to Charles Edward and JoAnn (Newsome) Williams. He was the lead singer in the rock band, �Drowning Pool.� He is survived by his father and mother, Charlie and Jo Williams, of Princeton; brother, Bobby of Fontana, Calif.; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and other loving relatives and friends; and his dog, Chewy.

Dave Williams was one of a kind, and a friend to everyone he met," the surviving members of Drowning Pool � guitarist C.J. Pierce, bassist Stevie Benton and drummer Mike Luce � said in a statement. "He was a good man and a giving person. Not a day went by when he wasn't giving somebody a little present and touching everyone around him with his passion. He was full of energy until the day he passed and undeniably full of life. To the end, we were having a great time. We will miss him."

The 30-year-old singer died from cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscle, the report said. Williams' condition, concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, prevents blood flow from the left ventricle to the right. Williams was never diagnosed with the disease, the cause of which is unknown.
