Billy and Mary shared beautiful memories together for over 40 years. They raised two wonderful sons and the bond shared between all of them was very special. Billy was a family man, avid Alabama fan, hunter and loving friend to many people. He was loved and adored by his grandchildren. Billy was known for his kind and generous spirit. He was always there to help anyone in need. He was a simple man who made sure to spend all his extra time at his grandchildren’s ballgames, recitals, pageants, and any extra- curricular activities.
Pallbearers will be David Holcombe, Adam Holcombe, Brentyn Lancaster, Chris Moore, Colt Smith and Cass Woods. Honorary pallbearers will be Andy Croy and Jayden Young.
