Billy was born on January 3, 1940, in Floydada, Texas to Oscar William Wiggins and Myrtle Zilda Leatherman Wiggins. Upon graduating high school, he served in the United States Army and Army Reserves. He then went on to become a transmission specialist at Ford, he later became a proud business owner when he opened Leon's Scrap Metal.

In his early years, Billy was actively involved in archery and during a tournament was tied for first place. During the tiebreaker round, Billy shot a "Robin Hood," as his arrow struck the end of his previous arrow, splitting it and winning the tournament. His adventurous spirit carried into his adult life, as he loved to be outside. Whether it was hunting or fishing, Billy always enjoyed his time in nature.

Billy had a heart for the lost, and wanted everyone he met to know about the One who changed his life. In the 1980's he would make weekly visits to various hospitals in Fort Worth, visiting and praying for hospital patients and seeing many people saved, healed and delivered. He was also known on more than one occasion to stop and pray with people on the streets. One of his proudest accomplishments was building and erecting a 40 ft. cross in Mineral Wells and has received testimonies throughout the years on the many lives that have been impacted by it. He was a true disciple of faith, leading with love and grace, qualities which he instilled in his children. His caring spirit is going to be deeply missed by everyone who had the chance to know and love him.
