Billy
Boyd Caldwell 67 of Athens, Alabama died Tuesday, March
8th, 2022 peacefully at his residence, surrounded by his family.
Billy was born
on January 28th, 1955 to Boyd and Mary Caldwell in Memphis Tennessee. After graduating
from Central High School, he went on to study Civil Engineering at Christian
Brothers University. After graduation from Christian Brothers University, he
worked for the Tennessee Valley Authority for 12 years. GOD masterminded a plan
for him to move to Alabama and meet his future wife, JoAnne Day Burleson whom
he married in 1988. In 1995 he and his family moved to Memphis Tennessee where
he spent 2 years working at an engineering firm before GOD revealed another
plan for his family to move back to Alabama without Billy ever putting in a job
application or submitting a resume. Billy was very active in the New Covenant
Emmaus Community where his faith in GOD grew continuously. He was a PRAYER
WARRIOR. When someone asked him to pray for them, he stopped in his tracks and
prayed. He was a faithful member of Friendship United Methodist Church for many
years.
He was preceded in death by is father Boyd Caldwell and his mother Mary
Caldwell.
He is survived by his wife JoAnne, who he loved with all of his heart
for 33 years and was his soulmate. He is also survived by his children Wade
(wife Heather and their kids Drake, Kennedy and Lily Peyton), his daughter Joy
Caldwell White (husband Jason and their kids Addison, Mason and Dawson), his
daughter Rebekah Caldwell Owens (husband Victor and their daughter Spencer
Kate), and his youngest daughter Laura. He is also survived by his older sister
Benita Caldwell Gately (husband Royce and their children Amanda, Rhonda, and
Jeff.) He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

My condolences to the Caldwell Family. Billy was a top notch boss that always showed that he truly cared about his people. I was always in a good mood after talking to Billy even if I was having a rotten day. His wit, broad knowledge, motivation and charm were gifts to the world. He will be missed.
