Billy began a life of serving Christ as a music minister in several churches. He was truly blessed with an amazing voice. People loved to hear him sing. Not many people could sing an old gospel hymn and bring people to tears. Billy could!

Billy was extremely proud of his Chickasaw heritage. He began teaching his children at an early age about their Chickasaw roots. In 1985, he began an almost three-decade service to the Chickasaw Nation. He was a drug and alcohol counselor and touched many lives in helping to break the cycle of addiction.
