Billy Gail Skaggs, 74, peacefully passed away on Feb.12, 2024, at his
home in Fairborn, Ohio, surrounded by his loving family and his faithful
dog Sissy. Billy was born July 31, 1949, in Borger, Texas. He graduated

sister Cheryl, and his brother Gary. Billy is survived by his devoted
wife and best friend of 42 years, Linda, six children, 11 grandchildren,
five great-grandchildren, and his sister.

Billy dedicated much of his life to the cattle feed yard business before
transitioning to a career in truck driving for Reliant Transportation,
where he worked diligently for 8 years before retiring at the age of 67.
Known for his kind-hearted nature and compassionate spirit, Billy was
always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need, whether they
were a stranger or a friend.

During his retirement, he found fulfillment in volunteering at his local
church and indulging in his hobbies, which included attending car and
horse shows and experimenting with new recipes. He will be fondly
remembered for his warm heart and wonderful sense of humor, leaving
behind a legacy of love and laughter.
