Publish in a newspaper
He was born on December 2, 1963, in Anderson to William and Linda (Welker) McCallister and has lived in this area all his lifetime. He was a graduate of Pendleton High School-Class of 1982.
As a young man, he entered the work force working for Keno Construction. He later worked for Byrum Builders. Billy formed his own company known as BP's Home Maintenance which he operated for more than 30 years. For the last 5 years, he has been Facilities Maintenance for Meridian Services in Muncie. Billy will be remembered as a hard worker with a kind heart. He thoroughly enjoyed spending time with family and friends, especially with his camping buddies. Billy enjoyed golfing, and was a fan of IU basketball, the Indiana Pacers, the Indianapolis Colts and the Indiana Fever. But most of all he was a loving husband, the "best" dad and a great brother and uncle.
