Billy Ray Atkins

I am truly sorry for your loss. During this most distressing time, may you find peace by pouring out your deepest emotions to God in prayer.

I was honored to attend your Father's funeral yesterday along with three other members of your Dad's first RHS football team in the fall of 1960. It was a testament to your Dad's character and knowledge that he led the team to a winning record in it's first year in AAA as well as it's continued success as RHS rocketed through AAA to AAAA brackets.

Those were heady times for the Richardson School District as your Dad moved onward and upward to JJ Pearce HS and beyond.

It was with...

Our Allen family was saddened to hear of the passing of Coach Atkins he will be remembered as a part of our lives growing up in Richardson. He was truly a very special person, our love, thoughts and prayers to all the family.

I was saddened to hear of Billy Ray's passing. I always enjoyed Billy Ray's company at family reunions. He was a great cousin of mine. I was always impressed with all that he did with his life and I know that his contributions to his family and community was very important. I'm sorry that we lived so many miles apart and weren't in closer contact through the years.
Billy Ray you will be missed!

The McMurry University family extends heartfelt sympathy and prayers to you during this very difficult time. Blessings on you all.
