Billy was employed as a delivery driver for Virginia Tile where he happily drove a truck everyday, making wonderful friendships along the way.

Billy enjoyed spending time with Angela, chasing Katelyn across the country watching her play softball, his immediate family, hunting, fishing, doing anything outdoors, and watching westerns.

Billy is survived by his wife Angela Hicks of Oak Grove, Missouri, daughter Hailey (Zach) Wheeler of Kansas City, daughter Katelyn Hicks of Oak Grove, Missouri, and William (Jocelyn) Kepner of Peculiar, Missouri. He is also survived by grandchildren Savannah and Sawyer Wheeler and Samuel, Gunnar, Justice, Moses, and Ziva Kepner.

    My friend, I thought this day would never come. But you have always been my friend from the time we shot pool in my basement to The Times we went fishing at my grandparents.
    We have always talked and always been there for each other. Growing up together makes it hurt even worse. I know you’re in a better place. I’m always going to miss you until we meet again.My friend

    I will miss seeing your smiling face each week when you made my Virginia Tile deliveries to my store in Manhattan Kansas. No matter what the weather 100 degrees or 10 below zero you were always upbeat and full of life. You will be greatly missed! May you rest in peace.

    I am beyond belief that you are no longer with us. I so enjoyed getting to know you and loved our conversations when we would both be at Virginia Tile early in the morning. All your customers you delivered to loved you and always told me how much they appreciated you and how you were so willing to help them anyway you could. I do and will miss you my friend! Praying for your family
