Billy Odom Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Campbell Funeral Chapel - Trenton on Jan. 20, 2026.
Billy Odom, 70, of Trenton, New Jersey, departed this life Wednesday January 14, 2026, in his home in Trenton, New Jersey.

Billy Odom leaves behind a legacy of wisdom, kindness, and quiet strength. He will be remembered for his sharp mind, his generous spirit, and the countless lives he touched simply by being himself. Though he will be deeply missed, his influence lives on in the stories shared, the lessons passed down, and the love he gave so openly.

Preceded in death by his parents, George C. and Thelma Odom; siblings, Larry Hill, Anthony Odom, Kara Odom, and Kenneth Odom. In addition, he was preceded in death by his beloved son Billy Hamilton, whom he carried in his heart always. Billy passed away on the younger Billy's birthday-a bittersweet moment that forever binds their memories together.

Billy is survived by his children: Craig Alford, Terrance Alford, Kelly Barber, Tawanda Parks (Donshea), Natasha Alford, Crystal Odom, Shonta Jenkins, Michelle Freeman, Leticia Martin, and Corey Martin, his 33 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren and his siblings Gary Hill, George Odom (Valosha), and Carolyn Pridgeon, a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends.
