William "Billy" Herman Freeman, 61, passed away peacefully on November 14, 2025 in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Billy was born June 29, 1964 in Natchitoches, Louisiana. He attended Ashland High School, graduated from Campti High School, Northwestern State University and Centenary College. He was a teacher, coach and assistant principal in Caddo Parish.

He was the type of person who gave without hesitation-his time, his wisdom, and his compassion. Whether helping a neighbor, supporting a friend in need, or offering encouragement to anyone who crossed his path, his gentle spirit left a lasting impact on countless lives. Billy will be deeply missed and will lovingly be remembered by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

He was preceded in death by his father, Herman Freeman; one brother, Marion Ross Friday; and one sister, Ramona Gail Dunn.
Billy is survived by his son, Grant Freeman; daughter, Gentry Copeland (Cole); mother, Dora Beth Weaver; sister, Ruby Pardee (Gary); brother, David Freeman (Danielle).

The family would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Bristol Hospice: Amy, Sarah, Jami, and Robin. As well as the WK North and Intensive Specialty Hospital staff who provided exceptional care and compassion.
