Nothing made him happier than hosting a fish fry for family with music and games, and he was the best at blessing the meal. Billy was also a member of the Hedgeville Baptist Church.

He was preceded in death by one brother, Bobby Stuart Nevius.

Paid Obit
To the family of Billy.
As I was reading the obits, I was so surprised to read about Billy’s Passing. I aam so sorry to know this. Billy was a friend and we went to school together. He was always so friendly and always smiling.
One day as we were on our way to Frankfort {this was a LONG time ago} I was in Hockinsmiths store as my husband and childre rode around the block. My husband had turned the car over and my kids were in the back seat. well, they were all ok and Billy pulled them out through the window. I will always remember this.
I wish you all the best and God bless you all. Edna
