William H "Billy" Pitts Jr.

July 8, 1961 - February 7, 2022

William H. Pitts, Jr. (“Billy”), born July 8, 1961 in Nashville, Tennessee; died February 7, 2022 at Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville, Georgia of complications from Covid. He resided in Cornelia, Georgia. Billy is the son of the late William H. Pitts, Sr. (“Bill”) and Hazel Rebecca Pitts. He was a very accomplished musician who was loved by all and was considered a rock star by all who knew him and heard him play. Billy had a genuine love of music and played drums in many bands, including The Montgomery Brothers, The Law, The Swinging Richards, The Georgia Satellites, and Gasoline Bros., just to name a few. He was the manager of Auto Cash of Forsyth for 16 years, where he worked very hard to build lasting relationships with his co-workers and customers. He loved dogs, riding motorcycles, and playing music. He is survived by his wife Rebekah “Kay” Pitts, daughters Kaycie and Jessica Pitts, his sister Peggy Layne Chatfield, and his two dogs Lucy and Levi. His presence will be missed by all who knew him, and his memory will be cherished forever. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the Northeast Georgia Humane Society. A memorial service for Billy is scheduled for March 19, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. at Chicopee United Methodist Church, 3 1st Street, Gainesville, GA. A reception will follow. Another more casual service is being planned and as soon as details are confirmed they will be posted here. Arrangements have been entrusted to Whitfield Funeral Homes & Crematory, South Chapel at 1370 Industrial Boulevard, Baldwin, Georgia 30511. Telephone: 706-778-7123
