Billy Joe Keathley, 66, of Turkey Creek, passed away March 5, 2026, at Pikeville Medical Center.

Born Aug. 7, 1959, in Floyd County, he was the son of the late Marcus Keathley and Barbara Miner.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother Darrell Keathley, his wife Cindy, and a sister-in-law, Janice Keathley.

Billy was a retired coal miner from Mill Branch Coal Company.

Known for his big, loving heart, he was always looking out for others and willing to serve and help. Although he was known for his quiet demeanor, Billy’s love was loud.

He was gentle, kind, thoughtful and generous to all who knew him.

You would find him every day searching for a deal to buy, trade or sell.
