Billy Artery Obituary

Roseville, Ca-On January 6, 2018 we lost a warrior and one of the great ones. Billy Joe "BJ" Artery was a true legend and always willing to help someone in need. He was born in Atwood, Kansas and moved with his parents to Merrill, Oregon. Upon graduation, Billy relocated to the Bay Area in California to pursue his career in electronics and retired in December 2001. Billy is survived by his loving wife, Renee and sons Ruben and Rick Artery. Family and friends are welcome to attend a Celebration of Life and Memorial Service, Saturday, January 13, 2018 at 1:00pm at the Church of Christ located at 1799 Cirby Way Roseville, CA. and are invited to sign the online guestbook at blueoakscbs.com

I was unaware of BJ's passing and this is not easily received as my time with him was epic. We shared many laughs and good times together and I appreciate all the memories I hold dear. To this day, I still tell of the many jokes and stories between us and grin fondly to myself. Rest in peace buddy and see you further on down the road.

Have comfort in knowing that God is close to those who are brokenhearted. Because of God's love expressed through the ransom sacrifice of his Son, Jesus Christ, we can look forward to seeing our loved ones again. He keeps them all in his memory. May you find comfort, strength and hope in the Father of comfort and tender mercies.
