Steven Wayne “B” Billy, a man of steadfast faith and unwavering dedication to his family and community, passed away, surrounded by his loving family, on February 15, 2024, in Norman. Born on October 18, 1971, in Antlers, and raised in Finley, B’s heart and soul always remained in the place he called home. At the time of his passing, B resided with his cherished family in Hollis. He is preceded in death by his beloved parents: Stephen Watson Billy, Jr. and Lou Rena Billy. B is survived by his wife: Rosa Lee (Council) Billy, whom he married on his birthday in 2011; their children: Titus Wayne Billy of Hollis, Gabrielle Vionne Billy of Hollis, Tylar Christian Billy of Henderson, NV, and Christian Chase Billy of Hollis; and his brother: Mark Billy of Minneapoli­s, MN. B’s life was marked by a strong work ethic, learned at his father’s side. Together, they owned and operated Country Nursery, a landscapin­g and rock business in Finley. In his later years, B took on a new career CNC Operator. A man of profound spiritual devotion, B was an avid Bible reader, often sharing passages and insights from the scriptures. He grew up attending Old Cedar Church in Finley and was a member of the Finley Baptist Church community.
