Very sorry to learn of Billy´s passing. He was an extremely gifted musician. My high school memories are full of listening to and spending time with the Billy Hyatt experience. I guess I would have been considered a groupie in those days. My prayers are with his family. May you find peace in Gods blessings and your memory of a wonderful man.

Hey dad just stopping by again to say I'm thinking about you. And all the time still as well. I really can't believe you're gone. By the way I think you're the best guitar player in the world. I wish you would of taught me. I remember you would always try to teach me when I was younger but it was just so hard for me. Honestly I think it's hard for everyone except you and jimi Hendrix and Santana. And whatever names you would add on if you immediately if I could hear you. Well I love you Dad. And I'm keeping your memory live. I talk about you all the time with anyone and everyone. I always find a way to bring you up a little before immediately. I really miss you. Well goodnight I love u so much. Oh and P.S that song your playing the guitar too and singing a cover too on YouTube. I think it's call dreams live on forever? I love that video of you. I listen to it multiple times a day and it needs me so happy. Thank you for that. I miss you Dad <3

Dad I miss you so much and love u so much. I wish I would of told you that more often when I had the chance too. I'm so angry about all this. Btw, I wrote on here two other times, including on fathers day, but idk why it didn't get posted? I wish I could call you. I'll never forget you Dad. And I'm so sorry that this happened. Life ain't fair. I really need you right now. Missing you so much. Love you Dad. Thank you for everything.

I was a friend of Billy's daughter destiny in middle school and I would rotate from houses because my parents werent around much. I would sleep over at destinys house often and Billy would take me and her to the drive ins or take us to church and than out to eat. Destiny would have him play the guitar for us and I remember always thinking how neat it was to have a dad so talented and cool. Thank you for bringing some joy to my childhood. rip.

I remember I would walk into his room at the big house behind the school, and he will be playing the guitar and as I walked in he let me watch him play the guitar and right after that he would teach me my brother and my cousins how to box. Because of him I shadow box everywhere I go till this day (if you know you know ). Thank you uncle bill for always being there for me for always loving me and for teaching me how to be the best I can be. I love you and until we meet next time, just rest in peace.

I was devastated when I was told just a week ago, that such an amazing musician and friend had past away. I will always remember his laugh and smile and his determination to strive everyday..R.I.H. my friend see you again one day.

I met Billy when he started attending Cham Ministry. Both him and his daughter Destiny became regulars around the same time as me and my daughter. Never stopped thinking of them even though I stopped attending church due to my new job schedule. Heaven will be blessed with this music prodigy. Your talent and skill at the guitar and the drums were like none other. May your soul rest in peace Billy. God has you now.

Billy was a loving soul who did his best to do the right thing in situations. I met him at CHAM deliverance ministry, where we played music together for the church. He went on to play with me for other gigs and recordings, but most of all he became one of my best friends. I love him forever... miss him dearly... Always in my heart, and see you later... RIH Love Kristin
