Billy B. Caudell, Jr., 68, of Chanute, KS passed away May 21, 2025. He was born June 1, 1956 in Buffalo, KS.
Billy was a highly intelligent world traveler with a heart that expanded to every inch of his body. He deeply loved his family, and embraced friendships from humans from all walks of life. He was generous in spirit and generous in giving of his time and money to those in need. He loved children and animals, and they loved him deeply in return. He had many adventures, enjoyed life, but mostly loved spending time with his loved ones. So pure and encompassing with his love, Billy had the unique ability to convince everyone in his presence that they were his most favorite person in the world. He will be cherished and honored by many.
