United States Army,
Veteran,
Billy Ray "Bill" Hood, 77 years of age, of Bronston, Kentucky, departed this life to be with his Lord on Wednesday evening, January 13th, 2016 at his home while being comforted by his loving wife, Patricia.
Bill was born in Gray, Kentucky on July 11th, 1938, son of the late Raymond Hood, Sr. and Goldie K. Hood. He was a Veteran of the United States Army. Bill was retired from his career of thirty-three years at Chrysler Corporation in Kokomo, Indiana.
Bill was an enthusiastic gardener. He loved growing huge vegetable gardens in the spring, sharing his harvest with friends and neighbors. Volunteering for the Backpack Club was an important passion he shared with his wife. He attended Calvary Baptist Church in Somerset, Kentucky where he dearly loved his Church family.
Bill’s personality brought home to all the scripture, “A Merry heart doeth like good medicine”. He loved to laugh and share laughter with others. A visit with Bill was sure to bring many smiles. Bill had a heart of gold. He was a true blessing and ministry to anyone he knew in need. The love he poured into his friends, family and wife will continue to bless their lives long after his departure.
Bill was survived by his wife, Patricia Ann Hood of Bronston, Kentucky; one son, Timothy (and wife, Kimberly) Hood of Lily, Kentucky; one grandson, Timothy Ray Hood of Lily, Kentucky; three brothers, Raymond (and wife, Jennette) Hood of Knox County, Kentucky, Boyd (and wife, Kathy) Hood of Corbin, Kentucky, and Harvey Hood of Knox County, Kentucky; and a host of other family and friends who mourn his passing.
Bill was preceded in death by his father, Raymond Hood, Sr., who departed this life on September 16th, 1976; his mother, Goldie Hood, who departed is life on July 14h, 1996; his first wife of forty-eight years, Effie Brown Hood; and two brothers, Samuel Hood and James Bascum Hood.

Funeral services were held on Sunday, January 17th, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. in the Chapel of the Southern Oaks Funeral Home with Bro. Gilbert Robinson and Bro. Jamey Epperson officiating.

THIS IS A TRIBUTE IN MEMORY OF BILL,
If you could see me now you wouldn't shed a tear, Though you may not understand why I'm no longer there. Remember my spirit, that is the real me because I'm still very much alive, I've just been set free. Oh, if you could only see!
I have held our Father's face and I've touched my Savior's hand. All of Heaven's angels rejoiced as I entered the promised land. Beyond the gates of pearl I've walked on the golden streets.
I've touched the walls of jasper and dipped my foot in the crystal sea. The beauty is beyond words and nothing could compare, I've even seen our Lords mansion and someday I'll meet you there. Let Jesus be your guide because "His Word" will show you the way. So please don't cry because we will meet again someday.
