Obituary For Billy Aldridge

Billy Junior Aldridge was born June 3, 1953, to the late Andy Aldridge Jr., and Jewelean Gladney Aldridge in Eupora, Mississippi. He was called home on September 4, 2023.

Billy confessed a hope in Christ at an early age at New Hope Missionary Baptist Church in Parma, Missouri.

Billy served in the Army for several years, and after his Honorable Discharge, he relocated to Houston, Texas, and worked as a Chef on oil rig ships; he loved to cook good food.

Billy enjoyed life with his family and friends. He would go to the corner where his friends were and just sit around and chit-chat with them; he was very comical.

Billy was preceded in death by his son, Desmond Aldridge, and sister, Mary Porter.

The family will receive friends Saturday, September 9, 2023 from 4:00pm-6:00pm at RS Lewis & Sons 2944 Walnut Grove Road.
