Russell William "Billy" Coble, Jr., 59, resident of Pensacola FL, was born in the U.S. Naval Hospital in Portsmouth, VA on June 28, 1962. Billy passed away loved on Wednesday, September 29, 2021.

Billy was greeted at the gates of heaven by his dad, Russell William Coble, Sr. and his paternal grandparents, Marcus William and Annie Louise Lewis.

Billy is survived by his wife, Diane Heidemann Coble; his mother, Annie Ruth Coble; his son, Marcus William Coble, Sr. (Dallas); his daughter, Jennifer Lee Coble. Billy was a beloved PaPa to 10 beautiful grandchildren, Alexus, Kayla, Jesse, Katlyn, Kaylee, Kacey, Aleeah, Kari Ann, Marcus Jr. and Sophia.

Billy was a long-time member of the Ferry Pass Volunteer Fire Department Station 7. He received his First Responders Degree from Pensacola Junior College.

Billy was a dedicated employee of AAA Cooper Transportation for over 20 years and was very proud of his no accident record. If Billy wasn't working, spending time with his family or piddling around the house, you could bet your bottom dollar he was doing what he loved the most.....fishing. Everyone knew his passion for fishing and some of our most cherished memories with him were made on the water with a pole in our hands.

A memorial service will be held 11:00am Saturday, October 9, 2021 at Harper-Morris Memorial Chapel. Please dress casual, wear your favorite college football t-shirt, fishing shirt, or whatever is comfortable. That's how Billy would have wanted it. A cookout, Billy style, will follow the memorial service for family and friends to fellowship and share memories. Please call, text, or message family members for directions.

Go Gators!
