HUGHES SPRINGS --Graveside services for Dr. Billy Harold Satterfield, 40 of Houston, were held March 5 at Woodlawn Memorial Park under the direction of Reeder-Davis Funeral Home in Hughes Springs. Michael White, childhood friend, will be officiating.

Dr. Satterfield was born Sept. 14, 1978 and passed away March 1. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Leslie L. and Shirley Satterfield; and maternal grandparents, Harold and Emily Baird.

He is survived by his wife, Caley Satterfield; mother, Janis Satterfield; father, Billy Joe Satterfield; sister, Stacey and husband Alan Terry Jr.; niece, Brianna Terry; and nephew, Ty Terry.

Dr. Billy Satterfield was a 1997 graduate of Daingerfield High School, 2001 graduate of Henderson State University (Bachelor of Arts, History Major), 2004 graduate of the University of Arkansas (Master of Education), and a 2007 graduate of the University of Arkansas with a Doctorate of Education. Billy was previously employed by the University of Houston - Clear Lake as Executive Director of Financial Aid and Registrar. He was currently employed by Deloitte as a senior consultant specializing in higher education software implementation and policy/procedure development.

While at Henderson State University he met his wife, Caley, of 16 years, through their mutual love of music/band. He was an animal lover. He loved to cook and barbecue—as long as it was meat and potatoes! Friends and co-workers describe Billy as funny, smart, kind, and unassuming.

Billy spent his time with his wife scuba diving around the world in places like the Caribbean, Indonesia, and had a special place in his heart for Bonaire in the Dutch Caribbean. Because of his love of scuba diving and Bonaire, the family wishes that in lieu of flowers that donations be made to the Coral Restoration Foundation - Bonaire (www.crfbonaire.org).

Billy was a commercial-rated pilot, and spent many hours in his Beechcraft Sundowner flying for fun and flying needed supplies to hurricane-Harvey affected areas of Southeast Texas.
