Billy Leo Bryant, fondly known as "Frog", was born August 19, 1942 in Lenora, OK. and passed peacefully from this life surrounded by his family on June 26, 2022 at the age of 79.  He was the son of Marion Leo and Ava Josie (Kelly) Bryant and he grew up on the family farm with three siblings, brothers Gary and Don and a sister Marjorie.  When Billy was five years old his family moved east of Camargo, OK. and he began school in 1949.  He graduated from Camargo Public Schools in 1961 and furthered his education by obtaining a degree in diesel mechanics from the Vo-Tech School in Okmulgee, OK.

On October 2, 1964 in the Christian Church in Mooreland, OK. Billy was united in marriage to Darlene Ann Jackson.  He lovingly called her "the Boss" for fifty-seven years.  As newlyweds they lived near Marion and Ava before moving to Taloga, OK. and in 1970 they built a new home, their current residence,  east of Camargo, OK.  Their home was blessed with two children, Darla Jo in 1966 and Jimmy Don in 1968.

Billy was a lifetime farmer and beginning in 1980 the family was on the road several summers in the custom harvesting business.  He raised cattle, enjoyed tinkering in his shop, taking pictures and supervising various activities.

He was baptized in 1982 at the Freewill Baptist Church in Webb, OK. and he was a member of the U.S. Custom Harvesters organization.  He loved spending time with his family and his grandkids were the 'apple of his eye', he was awarded the honor of 'World's Greatest PaPa'.

He was known for his dry sense of humor and when anyone ask him how he was, his response was always the same 'grouchy'.  He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Billy is preceded in death by his parents, Marion and Ava Bryant, an infant brother Larry Bryant, brother and sister in law, Gary and Joan Bryant, his sister Marjorie (Pinky) Harding and other loved ones.
