Billy Dale is mentioned as "Billy" in the obituary of his mother.
From the Find-a-Grave record: "Billy D. Crymes age 63 [sic] of Smithville joined Christ in his Heavenly home on Saturday July 22, 2023. He was at home surrounded by family and friends. Billy was born April 8, 1960 [sic], to his parents, the late Roy O. and Norma Jean Keller Crymes. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother-in-law, Randy Matthews; nephew, Peyton Arnold and special friend Mary Lou Bennett. He attended the Old Fashioned Freewill Baptist Church and loved his church family very much. Billy worked in construction and at the DeKalb County Landfill and was a volunteer fireman for many years. He received an honorary lifetime membership to the DeKalb County Fire Department in 2014. He is survived by his loving wife, J▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮ Crymes; sisters, K▮▮▮▮ Matthews and P▮▮▮▮ and D▮▮▮▮ Arnold; children, J▮▮▮▮▮▮▮ and J▮▮▮▮ Smallwood, W▮▮▮▮▮▮ and S▮▮▮▮▮ Hale, S▮▮▮▮▮ and D▮▮▮▮▮▮ Satterfield, M▮▮▮▮▮▮ and R▮▮▮▮▮ Lawrence, L▮▮▮▮▮ and G▮▮▮▮ Ferrell; grandchildren, ... great-grandchildren, ... nieces and nephews, ... great-nephews, ..., special friends, ...Billy had a love for everyone and a light about him that made everyone love him. He was always full of life and spread joy to all who knew him. He never met a stranger. There is no way to list all of you, but if you were lucky enough to meet him, then know he considered you his friend. He loved and cherished his wife, family and dog, Pepperjack with his whole heart. Pa Billy will always be deeply missed, but we rejoice in knowing he found peace in his Father's arms. Funeral services will be 6:PM Tuesday, July 25, 2023, at DeKalb Funeral Chapel with Bros. Billy Martin and Michael Hale officiating."
The Find-a-Grave record includes a PHOTOGRAPH of Billy Dale.
In the above obituary none of the people listed as children have the surname CRYMES so it is likely that some or all of them are in fact step-children. |
