William Michael McCoy Jr.

After a long and courageous battle with cancer, William "Billy" Michael McCoy, Jr., age 66, passed away early Wednesday morning, November 1, 2023, surrounded by family in his home, located in King George, Virginia. Despite everything he encountered over the last few years, he persevered and smiled until the end.

Born June 13, 1957, to William Michael McCoy, Sr. and Shirley Ann (Brasher) McCoy, in Washington, D.C., Billy grew up in a loving, Catholic home. He went on to earn his Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Maryland College Park. From there, he owned and operated B&D Kitchens, Inc., in White Plains, Maryland, with his brother-in-law, Daniel Joseph Watts, for over 40 years.

Billy was a loving father, partner, brother, son, and friend. He was a devoted family man and enjoyed traveling with family and friends whenever he could. He was always full of life. You could count on him whenever you needed a helping hand, advice, or a good joke.

Billy was an avid lover of bowling, golf, basketball, and football - especially the Washington Redskins. He enjoyed playing, coaching, and watching them. Additionally, he loved war-time history, particularly the Civil War, coin collecting, and doing genealogy.
