A graduate of Anderson County High School, Billy worked for many years at Wild Turkey Distillery on the bottling line and as a warehouse employee before retiring.

He enjoyed whittling wood, walking along the Kentucky River with snacks in hand, collecting arrowheads, and expressing his creativity through drawing and painting.
Including his parents, Billy was preceded in death by his wife, Connie Todd Beasley; and his siblings, Clara Rose Beasley, Marcus Karl Beasley, Harold “Tommy” Beasley, Ray Maurice Beasley, and Junior Beasley.
Billy is survived by his daughters, Misty Peach (Dennis), Casey Goins (Russell), and Ivy Linzy (Austin); his siblings, Mary Lou Gillis Nevins (Dicky), Connie Blackwell, and Johnny Beasley (Randy); his grandchildren, Laura Walker (John), Hannah Robinson, Rebecca Miller (Andrew), Nevaeh Waldridge, and Hadley Goins; and his great-grandchildren, Levi, Ava, Jaxon, Allison, Jonas, Haizley, and Hank.
