From a young age, Billy loved being outdoors and getting his hands dirty. He had a love for all things that involved beautiful landscapes.

He loved watching his children and grandchildren play various sports in the community and would attend every game he could. He also enjoyed playing travel ragball in his younger years.

He gave his heart to Jesus at a young age and rededicated his life to the Lord in recent years and was a member of First Baptist Church in Yellville. He had a soft spot for animals and loved his dog, Ozzie. With his family he was always making jokes and loved to pester the grandchildren, but was one of their biggest fans. He loved with his whole heart and his family was his world. His family describes him as humble, kind, witty, hard working and loved.
