January 29, 1980 - April 9, 2025
The news of Billy G. Faulk’s passing at the age of 45 on April 9, 2025, in Oklahoma City, casts a shadow over Ponca City and beyond. His life, though cut short, was evidently filled with passion, dedication, and a deep love for family and the simple pleasures of the outdoors. The Celebration of Life ceremony, scheduled for April 26th from 5 pm to 9 pm, at the duck ponds’ shelter houses 1 and 2, 150 LA Cann Drive, promises to be a gathering of those whose lives were touched by Billy, a testament to the impact he had on his community.
Born on January 29, 1980, in Jacksonville, Florida, to William and Juliana (Vidal) Faulk, Billy’s life took a significant turn early on with the passing of his father, leading the family to relocate to Ponca City. This move, however, did not diminish Billy’s spirit. He embraced life with enthusiasm, throwing himself into sports, particularly football. This passion for sports speaks to a competitive and energetic spirit, qualities that permeated other aspects of his life.
Beyond the gridiron, Billy found solace and joy in the outdoors. Fishing, camping, and grilling were more than just hobbies; they were avenues for connection, creating memories that would last a lifetime. His appreciation for food, especially that cooked during cookouts, suggests a convivial nature and a knack for bringing people together. It paints a picture of a man who enjoyed the simple things in life and found happiness in sharing them with others.
Billy’s professional life as a plumber for the last twelve years speaks to his dedication and hard work. He possessed a practical mind and a willingness to contribute to his community. However, his true dedication shone brightest in his role as a father to his daughter, Scarlett. He devoted his time to her, engaging in activities like video games and creating cherished memories at carnivals, fairs, and swimming pools. These shared experiences underscore his commitment to family and his desire to create a loving and supportive environment for his daughter.
The list of those who survive Billy speaks volumes about the breadth of his connections. His wife, Amanda, his daughter, Scarlett, his mother, Juliana, his stepfather, Jeff, and siblings John, Samantha, and Jessica, will undoubtedly feel his absence deeply. The inclusion of numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends highlights the strong family bonds and the wide circle of individuals who considered him a friend. These relationships are a testament to Billy’s character and the positive impact he had on the lives of those around him. The passing of his father and grandparents before him leaves a void, but also serves as a reminder of the cyclical nature of life and the importance of cherishing the time we have with loved ones.
The life of Billy G. Faulk, as glimpsed through this brief summary, was one filled with passion, dedication, and a deep appreciation for the small joys of life. He was a sportsman, an outdoorsman, a dedicated plumber, and, most importantly, a loving husband and father. While his passing is undoubtedly a source of profound sadness, the memory of his life will undoubtedly live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. The Celebration of Life ceremony will be a fitting tribute to a life lived fully, a life lived fiercely, and a life lived in service to family and friends.
