William "Billy" Chase

Services for William "Billy" Chase Jr., will be held on Sunday, April 25, 2021 at Anderson Clayton Bros., Kemp with Pastor Wayne Gilcrease presiding. Billy was born on September 30, 1948 to parents William Hyter Chase, Sr. and Blanch Ladell Gilcrease in Dallas, Texas. He grew up a hardworking man that enjoyed fishing, hunting, and sitting on the porch enjoying a glass of iced tea and long talks with his many friends and family. Billy’s hunting abilities were only matched by his heart; he helped numerous people find a better life during his 26 years of sobriety. He was always there for those he loved. Never shy with a hug and an “I love you” or the life advice you were looking for. He had a story and a lesson for anything you sought.
