Bio

Billy Dean Davis, 67, of Ben Hur, passed away Thursday, Nov. 24, 2011, at Hillcrest Hospital in Waco. Funeral services will be 2 p.m., Monday, Nov. 28, at the Groesbeck Funeral Home Chapel, with the Rev. Gary Kreder officiating. Burial will follow in Kirk Cemetery. Visitation will be 7 to 9 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 27, at the Groesbeck Funeral Home. Billy Dean was born in Ben Hur, Texas, to the late R.C. Davis and Jessie (Crisp) Davis. He grew up in Ben Hur, and attended school there until it closed, and then graduated from Mart High School in 1963. He was the oldest boy in a large family with older sisters, so he was always their pet. Billy Dean grew up ranching and driving a tractor for his Dad, starting when he was five years old. He grew up with horses, Champ being his favorite. Billy ranched all his life, and enjoyed being on a horse, and having a cowdog. He also enjoyed bird hunting. While he was ranching, he also worked over 20 years at General Tire in Waco, until it closed. He was the "go-to" guy, always willing to help anyone who needed a cowboy. Billy had friends everywhere, and enjoyed talking with them, drinking coffee, and telling cowboy stories (or "tall tales.") He was a member of the First Baptist Church of Mart. Billy Dean was preceded in death by a brother, Larry Davis; and a niece, Loren Davis. He is survived by his son, Billy Dean Davis, Jr. and his wife, Jenni, of Arlington; daughter, Catrina Nicol "Nicky" Davis Nobles and her husband, J.D., of Mart; grandsons, Lane Nobles, of Mount Calm, and Rozen Nobles, of Mart; granddaughters, Cami Davis and Bri Davis, of Arlington; great-grandson, Kayden Lane Nobles, of Mount Calm; sisters, Laverne Oliver, of Ben Hur, Bobbie Jean Thorne, of Mexia, Margie McFarland, of Dallas, and Mary Mitchell, of Pearland; brothers, Donald Davis, of Nacogdoches, Jackie Davis, of Eddy, and Randy Davis, of Houston; many nieces, nephews, and other family members and numerous friends.
