We, the Williams family, are devastated by the sudden and heartbreaking loss of Dr. Nolan Williams on October 8th, 2025.

At Stanford University, Nolan devoted his life to saving others — pioneering groundbreaking depression treatments like SAINT and Ibogaine therapy, giving countless people hope and healing. The tragic irony of losing him to suicide makes this loss even more painful for all of us who knew and loved him.

But Nolan was far more than a brilliant doctor — he was a loving husband, devoted father, cherished son, and the pillar of our family. His bond with his mother, Ann, was unbreakable, and his kindness, laughter, and heart touched everyone he met.

Though he lived in San Francisco, Charleston, South Carolina was his true home — the place that molded him into the extraordinary man he became.

This GoFundMe will help our mother, Ann Williams, cover medical expenses, continued therapy and healing costs, and allow her to honor Nolan’s legacy by continuing his mission to bring light and awareness to mental health and suicide prevention.

️ Nolan’s light and legacy will never fade — and we, his family, will make sure of that.
