It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Billie Charles Holbert, Jr. (Bill) at the age of 67 on March 2, 2024. Bill passed away peacefully surrounded by his family. He is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, Sherry, their son Billie Charles Holbert III; daughter Rachel and husband Steven; daughter Macy; sister Sherree and husband Carl; mother, Carolyn. Bill was preceded in death by his father Billie Charles Holbert, Sr., and brother Greg.
Bill moved to the Houston area, fell in love with Friendswood and resided here ever since. He had many successful entrepreneurial ventures. The pinnacle of his career was as a banker, most recently as Market President for Stellar Bank.
Banking harnessed his knowledge of business start ups & growth, financial planning, and creative business solutions. Most importantly Bill enjoyed working alongside people. He was a leader in the Friendswood community by serving on Friendswood City Council and actively participating in Rotary Club.
Bill was a man of great character and vision. He had a laugh that could fill a room and sense of humor that drew others to him. He was a positive, encouraging man with an eye to see through to the heart of the matter.
Throughout the years, Bill touched many with his wisdom, wit, and light hearted approach to life. Those who knew him knew they had a friend they could depend on. He was full of life lessons and practical wisdom, and was a friend to many.
His positive and encouraging words touched everyone he met. He will be remembered for being a loving husband, devoted father and family man, and genuine friend. His loss will leave a void that cannot be filled, but his memory will forever be engraved on the hearts of those who knew him.
