William (Billy) Edward Hood

In honor of Billy’s wishes, no services will be held. He had donated his body to Vanderbilt, and he chose to then be cremated. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in his name to your favorite charity.

In his early life, Billy enjoyed watching as well as racing his own cars. Throughout his life, he had a real passion for antique cars and working on them. During his later years, many people will remember his love for and devotion to his dog, Babe, who was his constant companion.

Mr. Hood was preceded in death by his parents, S.B. and Louise (Walker) Hood; and his brother James (Jimmy) Hood.

Billy is survived by his nephew, Kelly Hood and great-niece, Madeline Hood, of Nashville; niece, Erica Hood (Jeremy) Bruce of Hermitage; great nephews, Brennan (Savannah)Biggs, and Caden Woods; as well as several cousins.
