According to Tri-City News, Williams' mother, Marlyse, is "absolutely devastated," and says that the family cannot even grieve together because of mandatory social distancing due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"I am not able to hug my parents who lost their only grandchild," she told the outlet. "It's hard."
"With his talent and gorgeous looks, Logan had the potential to be a huge star," she added.
In addition to his mother, Williams is survived by his father, Clive, as well as grandparents, aunts and uncles.
