Add A Condolence
To the Family of Billy Boy, My deepest and most heartfelt condolences are with you. Billy Boy was one of the true OGs of New Bern — a presence you felt the moment he walked into a room. And when his songs came on, especially Just In Case by Jaheim or Overtime by Chris Brown, he turned into a dancing machine. Watching him hit the floor when those tracks played was pure joy. His energy, his rhythm, and the way he lit up the space will never be forgotten. May his memory continue to bring you comfort, laughter, and love. Sending strength and heartfelt sympathy to the entire family during this difficult time.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
