William A. McCarty II (Billy), 33, passed away before his time on September 20, 2020. 

Will was born in Monroe, Michigan. He was the son of the late William A and Rebecca (Williams) McCarty; brother of Vincent McCarty, Victor (Shanie) McCarty, Jody McCarty, Steven (Rich) McCarty, Savannah (Gary) Adams, and the late Johnny McCarty.

Will is survived by his children Zandyr McCarty, Gavin McCarty and Makenna McCarty; fiance'Christine Santia; “Granny” Vera (the late David) Williams; nieces and nephews Dalton McCarty, Chelsea McCarty, Aryana McCarty, Silas Adams, Clayton Adams, and many cousins.

Will loved sports and working out; and he always strove to be the best. He enjoyed playing basketball and football, and was known for his skills on the basketball court. Will shared his love of sports with his children, and many cherished memories were made of his teaching them basketball and football only later to be “schooled” by them. His smile and kind heart will be remembered by friends and loved ones. Will was proud to say he was recently baptized by Reverend Kenny Goins and became a member of the Kentucky Park Missionary Baptist Church.
