Billy Grant was a hardworking man who spent his life working with his hands and providing for those he loved. In his younger years, he worked in the textile industry before becoming a farmer, pulpwood worker, and pine straw worker. Billy was not one to sit still, and he continued working into his early 70s until his health began to decline.

Billy was full of life, laughter, and stories. He enjoyed watching old television shows and especially loved a good old western. One of the things he enjoyed most was having visitors. He loved talking with people and would carry on a conversation for as long as he could.

For the past 15 years, Billy was cared for by Always Caring, and he had been receiving hospice care since December of last year. Throughout his years, Billy touched the lives of many people with his hard work, humor, and genuine love of conversation.

Billy will be remembered for his laughter, his stories, his strong work ethic, and the joy he found in the simple things in life. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
