Billy James Manders, Jr.

 Billy James Manders, Jr., 54 of Reidsville, GA, passed away suddenly on June 10, 2025 with his fiancé, Michelle, at his side. He was born on December 8, 1970 in Athens, GA, but lived most of his life in Monroe, GA. Billy was a man who lived to make others laugh, a trait his neighbors loved most. He was outspoken yet possessed a remarkable ability to acknowledge his mistakes and make amends swiftly, endearing him to many. 

Billy is survived by his fiancé (his "ole lady") of 14 plus years, Michelle Pittman Smith, of Reidsville, GA. He was preceded in death by his parents, Belinda and Billy Manders, Sr., both of Monroe, GA. 

Billy's legacy will be cherished and remembered by all who knew him, as a beacon of joy and kindness. His absence will be deeply felt by his neighbors and friends (Betty, Shirley, Andi, Kenny, Bobby, Timmy, Robert, Scott, Becca and Theresa), his family AND especially, his fiancé.

In lieu of flowers, a GoFundMe has been set up to assist the family with Billy's funeral expenses.

Low Country Cremation and Burial has the honor to serve the Manders family.
