William J "Billy Jo" Harnden, age 65, passed away on September 24, 2022 at his home in Carterville. He was born on June 28, 1957 to Jessie "Jess" and Sue Harnden in Nevada, Mo. 

Billy Jo was known for being an avid walker around his hometown of Carterville, and enjoyed being with his family and friends.

Billy Jo loved NASCAR and playing pool, all while enjoying a cold coke. He was a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, as well as one NASCAR driver in particular, Dale Earnhardt.
