Yesterday, we reported that Katherine Williams-Dunning, the 27 year-old daughter of country music legend Hank Williams Jr., was killed in a car crash on Saturday night in Tennessee. Now, her sisters Hilary and Holly, both of whom are singers, are speaking out to pay tribute to her.
Holly, 39, took to Instagram to post a family photo along with a touching tribute to Katherine after her passing:
“I have no words. On Friday morning I talked the family into taking this picture and had no idea it would be our last together with my precious little sister Katie,” Holly wrote in the photo caption. “We all went to my great aunts funeral on Thursday whom we all loved dearly, and now are faced with another one. ALL we need is prayers. My daddy. My little brother. Katie’s husband (he is awake and responding don’t know injury extent yet). My niece and nephew. Her Mama. The Dunning family. All of us. So. Many. Prayers. Jesus is close. Thank you all.”

She then added the Bible verse, “Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and my body with grief. Psalm 31:9.”

People magazine reported that Hilary, 41, honored Katherine on her Instagram story, where she wrote, “My beautiful little sister Katie. I’ll always love and miss you. I’ll see you again one day beyond the blue.”
Williams-Dunning had been at the wheel on Saturday night with her husband Tyler Dunning, 29, in the passenger seat when she somehow lost control of the car. Dunning was airlifted to a hospital with injuries that have not been disclosed to the public at this time.
Williams-Dunning and her husband had been married since 2015 and were the parents of two children, a 5 year-old boy and a 2 year-old girl. Williams-Dunning ran a clothing company called Weston Jane, a brand that is built on the idea of “moms supporting moms.”

On the night of the crash, Williams-Dunning’s brother Sam had taken to social media to announce the crash in posts that have since been deleted.
“My sister and brother in law have been in a terrible accident. Please pray for them so hard! Katie Williams and Tyler Dunning,” Sam wrote. “NEED EVERYONE WHO SEES THIS TO PRAY FOR KATIE WILLIAMS RIGHT NOW AND TYLER DUNNING !!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!”
Please keep the Williams and Dunning families in your thoughts and prayers during this horrific time.
