William "Bick" M. Crosby

William “Bick,” “Billy” Crosby entered the gates of heaven on January 2, 2024.

He was born and raised in Ocala, FL July 27, 1952. After retirement he and his wife, Brenda, moved to Colbert, GA. Bill was a man who could build or repair anything. He was a kind and compassionate soul. He loved to shower the ones he loved with gifts. But he was stubborn. Was he perfect? No, but he was close: the best husband, father, and grandfather.

Left behind to grieve his passing are his wife of 36 years, Brenda; his daughter, Grace Willow Crosby; special grandson, who he loved dearly, Crosby Dillon Coleman; special stepdaughters Peggy Baxley and Holly Coleman; 7 stepchildren, 3 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren; brother Larry Crosby (Patty) and sister Sheila Stearn.

A celebration of life will be held in Ocala at a later date.

Lord and Stephens Funeral Home, EAST, Athens, GA, is in charge of arrangements. www.lordandstephens.com
