Obituary
William “Bill” H. Presley, Jr.
web posted November 16, 2010
MERRIWETHER – Mr. William “Bill” H. Presley, Jr.,
husband of Carolyn Boyd Presley, of Arrowhead Lake Road, entered into
rest on Sunday, November 14, 2010 at his residence. His funeral service
will be held at 11:00 am on Wednesday, November 17, 2010 at Friendship
Baptist Church with Rev. Heyward Horton, Larry Cheek and Chaplain Ken
Gross officiating. Interment will follow at The Haven at Arrowhead.
Bill Presley was a WWII Veteran whose humble beginnings as a farmer, a
US Postal mail carrier, and a self-employed landscaper grew into
several successful businesses in grading, paving, real estate brokerage
and land development. His philanthropic involvement in the
establishment of numerous local churches furthered his ultimate goal in
life which was to profess his love for the Lord. Many people have been
led, and many will be led, to Christ as a result of his earthly work.
Additional survivors includes three sons, David B. Presley of Martinez,
GA, Gregory A. Presley of North Augusta, and Joel T. Presley and his
wife Tracy of North Augusta; four daughters, Kathryn Presley Pye and
her husband Andy of North Augusta, Jennifer Presley Downey and her
husband Kirk of North Augusta, Kathy G. Jones and her husband Philip of
Kalispell, MT, and Karen E. Lerch and her husband Bert of Boone, NC;
one brother, Eric C. Presley of Charlotte, NC; one brother-in-law,
Freddie Fulcher of North Augusta; sixteen grandchildren and six great
grandchildren. He was preceded in death by two sisters, Ina Angeline
Presley and Joy Dell Fulcher. The family would like to express special
appreciation to Katrina Hollis and to Trinity Hospice. Pallbearers will
be Drew Pye, Philip Pye, Bill Sizemore, Charlie Butler, David Presley,
Jr., and Clay Presley. Honorary Pallbearers will be Steve Presley and
Gene Johnson.
