William "Billy" Walters, Sr., 82, of Goose Creek, South Carolina, passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 29, 2025.

A true family man and community supporter, Billy found joy in coaching softball, baseball, and football. He loved playing softball himself, spending time fishing, and most of all, cherishing time with his family and friends.
