Billy Don Snow, 88, of Johnson, Arkansas passed away peacefully on January 24, 2025 at his home. ''Boss,'' as he became known, was born on October 10, 1936 in Scranton, Arkansas to William H. and Ola Needham Snow. He attended Scranton schools then obtained an Associates Degree while serving in the Air Force.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 50 years, Rosemary Snow and his brothers, Jim Snow and Bud Snow and his sisters, Jeanne Hughes, Alma ''Jick'' Martin and Peggy Snow.
He is survived by his longtime companion, Shirley Carter of Johnson and her sons, John Pearson and Jim Pearson of Harmon; daughter, Debbie Baskin and husband, Kevin of Clarksville, son, Roger Snow and wife, Becky of Cabot and daughter, Kathy Snow of Scranton; brothers, Bobby Snow and wife, Ruth of Scranton, Rick Snow and wife, Mary of Scranton and sister, Linda Holman of Scranton; grandchildren, Kayla Featherston of Clarksville, Nick Featherston and wife, Tori and family of Subiaco, Logan Featherston and wife, Kyra of Springdale, Blake Snow of Little Rock, Zach Snow and wife, Rindi of Mayflower, Spencer ''Chunk'' Snow of Cabot, Savannah ''Rab'' Snow of Cabot and fiance' Braden Shandy, Erika Smith and fiance' Reshard Baksh of Benton and Cory Snow of Scranton and great grandchildren, Shayden ''Snoddy Snow'' Puckett and husband, Allen; Kyler ''Hoss Snow'' Villines; Kyndalee ''Billie Dee'' Villines; Jayley ''B-Bop'' Russell and Amelia ''B-Bop-2'' Featherston; great great grandsons, Jackson ''Lil' Boss'' Puckett and Hudson ''Lil' Boss-2'' Puckett and many beloved nieces and nephews.
He lived a long full life. For those who knew and loved him, he was Bill, Dad, Paps or Boss. He made friends easily and treated people fairly. He worked for many years as a plant manager for Canada Dry at several locations around the country. But his goal was always to return to his hometown of Scranton so that his children could all graduate from Scranton HIgh School. Upon his return to Arkansas, he started a successful siding and insulation business. Upon retirement, he moved to Johnson to be near family.
He had many interests. He enjoyed serving on the Planning Commission in Johnson. He loved the Razorbacks, the New York Yankees and any old western movie he could find on TV. He was very close with his Redbone Coonhound ''T.'' He enjoyed going to the casinos and hauling home tons of gifts, most of which would be later given to family. He was very passionate about politics and was never shy in sharing his views on the matter. If you asked him to spell any new word, he would always reply ''KOUTBZ''. He was very interested in the lives of his family and beamed while discussing their achievements.
The family will receive friends from 5-7 p.m. Monday, January 27th at the Roller Funeral Home in Paris. Graveside services will be at 2 p.m. Tuesday, January 28th at the Prairie View Cemetery in Prairie View, Arkansas. Online guestbook at www.rollerfuneralhomes.com/paris
