William (Billy) E. Wimberly passed away peacefully at his home on Friday, September 26, 2025.

He was predeceased by his parents, Jake and Rachel Wimberly; his brother and sister-in-law, Jerry and Evelyn Wimberly; his sister, Gretta W. Gates; and his nephew, Steve Wimberly.

Billy is survived by his devoted wife, Kathy G. Wimberly; his daughter and son-in-law, Leah W. and William McCamy; and his beloved grandsons, Dax and Maddox. He also leaves behind nephews Todd Gates (Angie), Doug Gates (Janet), and Keith Wimberly (Lisa), along with his ever-faithful, deeply loved, and spoiled fur baby, Jake.

Born in the Eau Claire area of Columbia on July 14, 1944, Billy graduated from Eau Claire High School in 1962. He was a proud member of the Wednesday Morning Eau Claire Breakfast Club and cherished his time with his "buddies" each week.

Billy retired from the South Carolina Department of Transportation and faithfully served in the Army National Guard. A lifelong sportsman and passionate s***t shooter, he was inducted into the South Carolina S***t Shooters Hall of Fame in 2007. Among his proudest accomplishments was earning AAA classification in all four guns in a single year (1996). In 1992, he ranked among the top 25 in the International S***t U.S. Championships and was invited to the U.S. International Olympic Team tryouts.

Beyond the shooting range, Billy enjoyed building and flying model airplanes, a hobby that showcased his precision and creativity. He also loved the open road and never passed up a good motorcycle ride-especially to the mountains.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to Lutheran Hospice and BeWell for their compassionate care during Billy's final days.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Shriners Hospitals for Children, 950 West Faris Road, Greenville, SC 29605.

Billy wished to be remembered as someone who "Rode Good, Shot Straight, and Spoke the Truth."

Welcome to Greenlawn Memorial Park

From the beginning, Greenlawn has endeavored to provide only the finest in service and facilities for families in their time of need. An early Greenlawn brochure stated, “We envision a future of continuous growth, increasing beauty and loveliness. Our past, successful as it has been, is only our ‘prologue’.”

The first thing you will notice upon entering the grounds at Greenlawn is the natural beauty of dogwoods and crepe myrtle as well as centuries old live oaks and other mature trees of various species. The pond at the center of the memorial park serves as a focal point for our annual interdenominational Easter Sunrise Service which has been a Greenlawn tradition for over 50 years.

For those families who prefer other than in-ground interment, our Mausoleum provides the ultimate in above-ground entombment. Constructed of the finest domestic and imported marble, the Mausoleum was the first in the Columbia area and is still unmatched in its richness of detail and striking beauty. The Mausoleum Chapel, constructed as a wing of the mausoleum itself, is available for services in conjunction with funerals at Greenlawn. Niches for cremation urns are an integral part of the mausoleum, an excellent choice for a permanent memorialization.

A key element in our success in providing unsurpassed service through the years has been our ability to make arrangements for many families before the time of need. Approximately ninety percent of funerals at Greenlawn during recent years have been arranged prior to the death of the family member helping them avoid the stress of last minute planning. Our staff stands ready to assist at any time, but we strongly recommend that arrangements be made in advance for the sake of your family and your own peace of mind.
