Billy Gene Linker, 66, of North Little Rock passed away October 20, 2021. He was born February 25, 1955 to Delores Jean (Young) Hutardo and William Linker. In addition to his parents, Billy was preceded in death by his sister, Debbie Lee Johnson; and brother, Terry Wayne Linker. Billy worked at Crain Chevrolet until his passing. He was a body technician all his life. At a young age he grew to love cars and wrecked a few. His father told him if he is going to wreck them he better learn how to fix them. His hobby was playing pool. He started at a young age and loved the game. When people played against him they either walked away bragging about beating him or how many times they racked for him. He loved his family and friends and cherished the memories. As Billy would say "You tired of racking yet, let me know when you are".

He is survived by his wife, Thelma Linker; two sons, Joseph Linker, and Antonito Gonzalez; one daughter, Shealy Gonzalez; three grandchildren; two brothers, Jamie (Pam) and Randy Linker; and one sister, Debra Ann (Donald) Ford.
