Born in DeQuincy, Louisiana, on April 29, 1934, he was the son of John Henagan and Beulah Clark Henagan. Billy was a proud veteran of the United States Army. He worked as a structural steel rigger with Texaco for 41 years, where he was a highly recognized employee. Billy was a member of the United Pentecostal Church in Bridge City for 50 years, even helping to build the church itself as well as homes in the community. He was also a partner in the land development in Tanglewood. Billy was a very hard-working man who always stayed busy. When he wasn’t putting his carpentry skills to use around the community, he was using his gardening skills to raise satsuma trees in his large and beautiful garden.
