Billy enjoyed working with his hands, whether he was tinkering with radios and small electronics or customizing cars and trucks. He always had a love for the outdoors and enjoyed hunting and camping when he was able to. Billy could often be found watching the Auburn Tigers play. He and his dad would attend the games or just watch them at home together. What Billy enjoyed most of all however, was spending time with his family. His nieces and nephews meant the world to him and he always treated them as though they were his own children. Billy had a big heart and was always willing to help anyone in need. He was a loving son, brother, and uncle and his caring presence will be forever missed.
