Publish in a newspaper
Born December 24, 1941, in Murray, KY, Billy was the son of the late Earl Bryant Brandon and Lottie Olean (Fennell) Brandon. He proudly served his country in the U.S Army, during the Korean conflict, before returning to Murray to build a successful life in his hometown. Billy owned the Southside Barber Shop for several years, where many friendships were made, and later established the King's Den men's clothing store. Billy's commitment to service continued as he served Calloway County for several years as a Deputy Sheriff and ultimately retired after fifteen years with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Those left to cherish memories of Billy include his loving wife of 35 years, Marcia (Hooks) Brandon; son, Christopher (Nicole) Brandon of Bardstown, KY; step-son, Robbie (Lori) Noel of Kirksey, KY; grandchildren, Matthew Brandon, Mallory Brandon, Trevor (Lindsey) Gamble, Tyler (Maddy) Noel, Colton Noel, and Colby Noel; and great-grandchildren, Gatlin Gamble, Luna Gamble and Ryker Noel.
In addition to his parents, Billy was preceded in death by his sisters, Brenda Brandon Estes and Jane Brandon; and step-children, Christopher and Kaela Noel.
