Rev. William Otto Busby, Jr., beloved husband, father, grandfather, and 
faithful minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ, passed from this life into 
the courts of Heaven on Sunday, January 11, 2015. "Precious in the sight of 
the Lord is the death of his saints." Psalm 116:15

William was born January 7, 1936 to William Otto, Sr. and Lola Walters Busby 
in Crowville, Louisiana. He was a graduate of Louisiana College and New 
Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. He faithfully preached the Word of God 
for over 50 years in many churches across the state, including his longest 
pastorate of 21 years at Center Point Baptist Church in Jonesboro, 
Louisiana. He retired from full-time pastoral work in 1996 and moved back to 
Franklin Parish and quickly became involved at Temple Baptist Church, where 
he served for nearly two decades, first as Associate Pastor, then as Deacon 
and finally Deacon Emeritus.

William was preceded in death by his parents, William Otto Busby, Sr. and 
Lola Walters Busby.

William is survived by his wife of 56 years, Ruby Parnell Busby; four sons, 
Billy Busby and wife Brenda, of Winnsboro; Charles Busby of Jonesboro; David 
Busby and wife, Robin, of Weston; Eric Busby and wife Laura, of Clinton, MS. 
He is also survived by his two sisters, Jan Busby Pyzner and husband John of 
West Monroe; Doris Busby Marshall and husband, Ron of Sunnyvale, TX; seven 
grandchildren: Dani, Nikki, Carter, Alana, Sadie, Cassie and Elliott and 
three great-grandchildren.

Honorary pallbearers are the members of the Men's Executive Sunday School 
class of Temple Baptist Church, Winnsboro.

"For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor 
things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor 
anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of 
God in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39
