Billy J. Nesbitt (Age 69) of Vanleer, Tennessee passed away on Sunday, June 22, 2025, at Horizon Medical Center in Dickson, Tennessee. Born on November 4, 1955, Billy was the son of the late William and Lillis (Nelson) Nesbitt.
A sharp mind with an entrepreneurial spirit, Billy built a successful career as a self-employed general contractor, specializing in fire restoration. His work ethic, business sense, and dedication earned him the respect of many throughout the community.
Billy had a deep love for music—especially rock ‘n’ roll. He was known for his ability to play guitar with passion and volume, often filling a room with the sound of his favorite tunes. Music was more than a hobby; it was a part of who he was.
Billy loved his children and was proud of the people they’ve become. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
