February 12, 1964 — March 3, 2026

With heavy hearts and profound respect, we honor the life of Billie Ray Carabajal, who peacefully left this world on March 3, 2026, in Amarillo, Texas. Born on February 12, 1964, in Roswell, New Mexico, Billie was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend whose memory will forever be cherished. Billie was the devoted son of the late Bonifacio and Sinforosa Carabajal, who undoubtedly welcomed him with open arms in the hereafter. His legacy continues through the love of his wife, Teresa Carabajal, who was his steadfast partner through life's journey. Billie was a proud father to his daughters, Alicia Andazola and Felicity Duran, and a cherished grandfather to two wonderful grandchildren who brought immense joy to his life. His spirit will also live on in the hearts of his siblings, Marie, Jimmy, Bobby, and Ronn, who shared in his life's adventures. A skilled and dedicated diesel mechanic, Billie found joy in the intricate workings of machinery, allowing him to provide for his family and pursue his passion. His hands, always busy with an engine or a project at home, were a testament to his industrious nature and his love for creating and fixing. Beyond his professional life, Billie found solace in the great outdoors. He was an avid hunter, finding peace and excitement in the mountains, where he loved to gather around a campfire with family and friends. These moments of laughter and camaraderie in nature's embrace were where he truly came alive, sharing stories and creating memories that will linger in the hearts of those who knew him. Billie's life was a beautiful tapestry woven with dedication, laughter, and love. His infectious joy for life and his ability to find happiness in simple pleasures were qualities that endeared him to all. He was a man who not only worked with his hands but also lived with an open heart, always ready to share a smile or lend a helping hand. In accordance with his family's wishes, a private ceremony will be held to celebrate Billie's remarkable life. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that those who wish to honor Billie's memory do so by embracing the simple joys of life and cherishing time spent with loved ones, as he so loved to do. As we bid farewell to Billie, we remember a life well-lived and a man deeply loved. His spirit will forever be a guiding light, and his legacy will continue to inspire those he leaves behind. May he rest in peace, knowing he was loved beyond measure and will be missed beyond words.
