William Curtis  "Billy" Dunivan, son of the late Fred P. Dunivan and Nellie Lee (Grigery) Dunivan, was born August 29, 1945, in Bunny, Arkansas and departed this life on May 4, 2023, at the age of 77 years, 8 months and 5 days.

Billy married Janet Marie who preceded him in death October 31, 2014.

Billy loved to fish and enjoyed taking his family with him on many occasions. He was a great provider for his family and a very hard worker. Billy had over 30 years of experience in his profession with autobody and paint. He was a strong man who didn't break often, but everyone wears down in this road of life. Over the last few years, he had developed many health issues and became hard hearing. Even though Billy was tired, he still enjoyed to make people laugh. He'd often say, "Glad you got to see me", when saying goodbye, as a joke because he couldn't hear that well anymore. Billy also loved his favorite grand-pup Kiaya.
