Thajo Billingsley Obituary

Bill was such a unique character. I treasured his ability to "think outside the box." Most of all, I treasured his faith, now more than ever. Hearts are heavy today, but for all, like Bill, who seek eternal life through God's Word, our hope is not in earthly things. We will see him again.

Our Sympathy goes out to the family. There will be avoid in our visit to Banner Elk with Bill not there. But he is resting in God's home prepared for his believers.

Carol and Fred, and Georgia, we are sorry to lose our dear friend and brother, Bill. We have memories that go back several decades with our times together at church and other activities in the Cocoa and Rockledge areas. He was a hard working Deacon in Cocoa, and always held out for the truth of God's word, as did his mom and dad. I was always encouraged by that famous Billingsley smile of his. He has achieved victory in Christ, and is really where he can keep smiling eternally now. God bless you all. Walt and Benny Ann Gilfilen

Carol.

I am sorry for the loss of your father.I had become close to him before he left Banner Elk and he would always call me his dear friend when I saw him.He served the congregation here for many years and was a great example of courage and faith until the end.Take comfort in knowing he is being comforted in his eternal home.

I'm comforted for my brother's soul who would not come back for any price, and I'm so sad for you, Carol and everyone else affected by the loss of such a strong man. His smile and his presence will be missed by our church at Banner Elk. We love you and will keep praying for you and Fred. Bill will be missed.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

CAROL, SO SORRY TO LEARN OF THE LOSS OF BILL. I KNOW HE HADN'T FELT WELL FOR QUITE SOMETIME. JUST THINK HOW HAPPY CAROL IS TO HAVE HIM WITH HER, HELEN HUDANICK

Carol, I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of you dad (my sweet cousin). I know we will miss him but we both know he is in a much better place and he was ready to go. You and Fred were so good to take care of him. I have such fun memories of the camping trip we went on together when I was 13 and that bear came to our tent , tore up our coolers and your dad went out chasing him. I'll always remember his smile.
We have to keep in touch because we are about the only ones left on my Dad and your grandmother's side of the family. Please give your family my love. Love and God Bless, Jan Ward

Carol and family, We know it was such a blessing for your daddy to have you, but especially during the last few weeks. He is resting easy now. God bless all of you. We love you, The Tomblins

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help at this time.
