Signature Sympathy Cards
William “Billy” Jennings Medley, 83, passed away Friday, November 1, 2013. Born in Edgecombe County on June 7, 1930, he was the son of the late Luther and Lizzy Mae Medley. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers; Bobby, Jack, and Clarence; one sister, Marie; daughter-in-law, Susan, and his self-adopted, mother, Granny Brown.
Billy worked for Sun Gas and later with Daughtridge Gas Oil for fourteen years where he served as Vice President. He was the founder of Transpo Gas Services in the late 1970s where he worked until his retirement. He was dedicated to his family and was always ready to lend a helping hand to his friends. When he couldnt be found at work, you could always find “Wild Bill” on his backhoe. Billy never met a stranger and would always be remembered for his generosity to those he loved. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather and friend. He was a “Mans Man” in its true sense. Billy was a devoted servant to the Lord in his own special way with his self-less service to his neighbors. He will truly be missed by all that knew him.
He leaves to cherish his memory, his wife, Jacquelyn Medley; sons, Britt Medley and wife, Paula, Bryan Medley and wife, Sandra, and Tony Medley all of Rocky Mount; grandchildren, Brandi, Carson, Gary, Miranda, Brittany, Angela, and Christy; great-grandchildren, Dylan, Johnathan, Ashley, Lauren Grace, Meylana, Cohen, Claire, and Jackson.

Our thought and prayers are with his family.
Billy was always there for my family. When our father died, Russell Bradley, he had planned to connect to the new water line. Well, Billy was out in the yard digging with his back hoe. Not only him but all of his family has been there for us and we will be there for his. With all our love, Becky Bradley Walker
