Billy was born in Owens Cross Roads, Alabama 26 January, 1942 to Joe and Stella Walls.
Billy worked as an independent truck driver, hauling produce from coast to coast from an early age until his retirement.
When he retired, he moved from his home in Tennessee and resided in the Buffalo Gap, Texas area spending his remaining years farming and ranching. He had always loved the outdoors and working with livestock.
Everyone enjoyed his company, sense of humor, wit and always making people laugh at the hundreds of over the road stories he shared.
He had a deep relationship with Jesus and was always quick to offer deep heartfelt prayers for friends and loved ones. Many times family would walk into his home and Billy would be deep in prayer with Jesus. Billy’s favorite scriptures were;
1 John 1:5
God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.
Hebrews 13:5
I will never leave you nor forsake you.
