Billy Ray's life was full of adventure and joy. He had a passion for riding motorcycles and was an enthusiastic member of the Harley Owner's Group (HOG). Billy Ray could often be found floating down the river, camping in the great outdoors, or traveling to new places. An avid NASCAR fan, he also loved binge-watching shows on Netflix and trying his luck with lottery tickets and scratch-offs, often saying with a grin, "You can't win if you don't play."
