He grew up in Dallas, but got out of the city as quickly as possible. Throughout his life, he lived many places, but always outside of town. Some notable things about Billy, he worked on the pipeline in Alaska, enjoyed fishing and wildlife, and was a member of the Choctaw nation. He enjoyed participating in Powwows and war dances with fellow tribal members. Billy always had hummingbird feeders at his house, and those little beauties visited often. He had most recently been involved in God’s Country Cowboy Church in Talihina.

He is survived by his brother John Freeny and wife Glenda, sisters, Christi Mora and husband David, Kathy Collins and husband Tim, and Kellie Hammonds and husband Chuck, as well as many nieces and nephews.
