Billy (Bill) Royce Langford, Jr.

Billy Royce Langford Jr., known to family and friends as Bill, passed away peacefully, surrounded by love, on January 5, 2026. Bill was a devoted husband, father, brother, son-in-law, and a cherished friend to so many.

Bill will be remembered for his big heart, his love for long motorcycle rides through winding mountain roads, the absolute best BBQ, and his larger-than-life personality. He had a way of making people feel truly seen, cared for, and encouraged, and his love for his family was evident in everything he did.

Bill was a man of deep and steadfast faith. Even in seasons when life was hard and the road felt rough or uncertain, he held firmly to his faith and trusted God through it all. That faith anchored him, strengthened him, and shaped the way he loved and showed up for others. His legacy will live on through the many lives he touched.

He will forever be known as Bill Langford — The Man. The Myth. The Legend.

A man of valor.

Bill is survived by his loving wife, Renee Langford; his daughters, Haley Culp (Jordan Culp) and Chelsi Martin (Connor Martin); his cherished grandchildren, Sarahlynn Roksandich, Wyatt Roksandich, Elijah Roksandich, and Alina Culp; and his mother-in-law, Julie Jackson.

He is also lovingly remembered by his bonus family: Alica Dupre; Anna and Kingston Combs; Mekalia; James and Scarlett Blackledge; and Misty Raines Claypole and family, along with extended family members and many dear friends who became family along the way and will forever carry his memory with them.
