Billy Lewis Bray

During his time as a truck driver Billy successfully drove, accident-free, over 2,000,000 miles. Billy was a simple man with a wonderful sense of humor. He loved his family dearly and will be profoundly missed by everyone who knew him. Where most people hold materials to be importance, Billy held his word to the highest standards and his handshake was an assurance that what he had promised would be done.

Billy is preceded in death by his parents Lewis Russell Bray and Maxine Elizabeth Hayes. Infant sisters Shirley Bray and Joan Bray.

He is survived by his wife Brenda Bray. Son Brian (Renee) Bray. Siblings Betty Lou Buzzella and Roy Bray. Special nephew Dirk T. Myers. Granddaughters Alyssa McDonald and Deborah Bray. Great grandchildren Michael McDonald and Colton McDonald. As well as a host of nieces, nephews, other family, and friends.

The family will receive friends on Sunday August 31, 2025 from 2 until 3 PM at Coffey Funeral Home at 937 North Broad St Tazewell TN, 37879. A graveside service will follow in the Cook Pleasant View Cemetery.
