Born February 22, 1931 in Fort Worth, Texas to James Roy Jetton and Ruby Mabel Williams Jetton, Billy enlisted in the US Air Force in 1951.  After discharge, he began a very prosperous career of 44 years at Convair, (once known as General Dynamics and now known as Lockheed Martin), where he retired from.  He would also help his wife, Jane, the owner of Cherry Lane Flowers.  After retiring, Billy spent his many remaining years enjoying what he did best… supporting his community while being a loving husband, father, and grandfather.

Billy was a caregiver from beginning to end.  He loved his children Roy, Karen, Kathy and Timmy dearly.  He was blessed with 29 grandchildren, whom he adored.  To say Billy had a servant’s heart would be an understatement.  In his younger years, he organized the girl’s softball league, and you could always find him at the baseball field.  He was always helping where he could.  Whether he was performing his duties as a Sunday school teacher, or serving as a volunteer at Liberty Elementary, he always had a smile and never met a stranger.

He will be remembered for his warm wit, his facetious sense of humor, his wildly entertaining stories, his endless love for family and his infectious kindness; a trait for which many who knew him claim to remember the most.

“Do not let your hearts be troubled.  You believe in God; believe also in me.  My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” John 14:1-3 .
