The life Anna Nicole Smith went on to live resembled very little the life she had with Billy Smith. But his didn’t. He remained in the small Texas town where they had met and stayed out of the public eye. In October 2022, friend Jo McLemore said on Facebook that Billy continued to live in Mexia. Billy never took another wife or fathered other children, McLemore added. The last time Billy was seen in public was in September 2006, when members of the Mexia community organized a service for his son Daniel following his tragic death.
Anna Nicole wasn’t in attendance, WFMY reported. The ceremony, which about 50 people attended, was held in the absence of Daniel’s body, which had been laid to rest in the Bahamas. He died in the Caribbean while visiting his mother, who had just given birth to Dannielynn three days earlier. Billy was described as being “grief-stricken” at the memorial and throughout the day, WFMY noted
But it is unlikely Billy had a close relationship with Daniel, given that Anna Nicole moved from Mexia when Daniel was an infant and raised him as a single mother. In fact, Billy reportedly hadn’t seen Daniel since he was 2. Despite not being close, Billy sought to have Daniel exhumed and “transferred where his father and family reside” following Anna Nicole’s death in February 2007, TMZ reported. His attempts were unsuccessful. Daniel remains at Lakeview Memorial Gardens, next to his mother.
