William Hodges Tebo, Sr.

William Hodges Tebo, Sr., 72, of Oak Hall, VA, passed away Wednesday, July 2, 2025 at Riverside Regional Medical Center in Newport News, VA. Born March 28, 1953 in Cheverly, MD, he was the son of the late James Arthur Tebo and Georgetta Brandenburg Tebo.

He was known to friends as Billy and Pops to his kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. No matter what name you used, one thing was certain—he always told it like it was. He served his country in the United States Marine Corps and made his career as a self-employed arborist for several decades.

He is survived by his sons, William H. Tebo, Jr. and his wife, Crystal, of New Church, VA and Michael Tebo and his wife, Kelly, of Myrtle Beach, SC; sister, Shelia Barrier and her husband, Ronald, of Shelbyville, DE; and several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his daughter, Crystal Kirby.

To honor his wishes, no public service will be held.
