Billy Gene White Jr. of Blackwell, MO, has passed away, leaving behind a family and community who loved him dearly.
What you read below is one part of a life lived with quiet purpose.
Billy spent his working life as ['Anheuser-Busch Container'] and held deeply to the Baptist faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew him best.
There is a discipline of duty that shapes a life long after the uniform is set aside.
