Arena – Billy Bob White, age 11, of Arena, passed away on Sunday, August 16, 2020.

Billy Bob was born on February 23, 2009 in Madison to Travis White and Louann Wells. Billy Bob was a hardworking little boy. He would do anything for some cash. Billy Bob had the best tan any little boy could have, he loved going to work with his papa. If you didn't know where something was, all you had to do is ask Billy Bob, he knew where everything was. Some of the things Billy Bob enjoyed doing were going fishing, four wheeling & kayaking on the river. If it had anything to do with the outdoors Billy Bob was always there. Billy Bob was a cheese, chip & ice cream kinda dude. He would never turn down a Mountain Dew or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. One of Billy Bob's most proud moments was becoming an uncle to his niece Leela Rose. Bill absolutely adored Leela. Billy Bob had a smile that could light up an entire room. Billy Bob will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him.
