          On June 19, 1975, the world was blessed with the birth of Demetrice L. Carter, Sr. in Mobile, Alabama, to Louis Coaxum ll and Elizabeth Carter Ford. He departed this earthly life and gained his wings on Wednesday, May 25, 2023.

          Meachy was the sweetest and most loving person you could have ever known. He was always extending a helping hand where it was needed with no questions asked. He motivated everyone around him. Being sad was not an option. His favorite saying was, “Stop that cryin’ and drop that iron.” Meachy lived with no worries, and if he did, he never let you see him sweat. Also known as “Billy Boy”, he didn’t sugarcoat with anyone. If he wanted to set you straight, he did.
