Billy Wise Obituary

Billy Joe Wise Jr. age 67 went on to be with our Lord on Monday December 22, 2025. He was born to the late Louise Cockrell Wise and Billy Joe Wise in Heidelberg Germany. He was a beloved son, brother, father, uncle and was loved by everyone who knew him. He is survived by his son, Joe Toth; sisters, Angie Dale of Phoenix, AZ, Dilly Whittington of Selma, NC and Cindy Wise of Smithfield, NC; 6 nieces and nephews and 16 great nieces and nephews.

Burial will be held in Cockrell Family Cemetery at 2929 Glendale Road Kenly, NC.

Jr. brought love and laughter everywhere he went with his quick wit and humorous remarks. Our lives will be a lot quieter with a lot less laughter without him here.
