Billy Meek, Jr.

On April 15, 2023, with his three surviving children at his side, Billy “Bishop” Lee Meek Jr closed his eyes here on Earth and opened his eyes to the face of the Father. For the first time in several years, Billy stood up and walked, right into the arms of his Savior. He was reunited with his eldest daughter, Heather, his precious “Sunny Girl”.

Billy was born September 17, 1957 in Rose Pine, Louisiana. He was 65 years old. He called Greers Ferry, Arkansas home until he relocated to Hohenwald in 2006 and was proud to call it home. He recently retired as the Senior Pastor at The Assembly at Hohenwald. He was also recently inducted into the Hall of Champions by the Tennessee District Assemblies of God Ministry Network, a prestigious honor also held by his late uncle, Harvey Meek. Billy devoted his life to loving and serving others, just as Christ commanded.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Bill Sr. and Phyllis Jean; his daughter, Heather Gibson; and many grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is survived by his wife of nearly 45 years, Pam Meek; his daughters, Rhonda Bray and Melissa Meek; his son, Billy L Meek III; grandchildren, Gabriel, Kaden, Jacob, Cody, Alexander, Layla, Billy IV, Titus; and one great-granddaughter, Koralynn. Billy also leaves behind one daughter-in-law, Kaci Meek; one son-in-law, Jason Bray; two sisters-in-law, two brothers-in-law, several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and so many friends.

Billy was the center of his family, friends, and church, and will be desperately missed by so many. To be loved by Billy was nothing short of a blessing. If he could leave you with any final words, they would no doubt be “if no one has told you today, I love you, real big.”

Family will receive friends Thursday, April 20, 2023, from 3:00-6:00 p.m. at the Assembly at Hohenwald, 1776 Summertown Highway, Hohenwald. The service and celebration of all Billy meant to so many will immediately follow at 6:00 p.m. A private graveside service will be held at a later time.

Adair Funeral & Cremation Services is assisting the family with arrangements.
