Billy Clark Foster Death, Obituary: 38-year-old man from Jacksonville, Florida Billy Clark Foster Passed Away

With heavy hearts and profound sorrow, we remember and honor the life of Billy Clark Foster, a 38-year-old man from Jacksonville, Florida, whose life was tragically and violently taken on February 2, 2026. Billy’s passing has left his family, friends, and the wider community grappling with grief, disbelief, and an overwhelming sense of loss that words can scarcely express.

On the evening of February 2, at approximately 8:40 p.m., deputies with the Clay County Sheriff’s Office responded to an urgent call at the Winn-Dixie located at 1339 Blanding Boulevard. Reports indicated that an adult male was inside a vehicle, suffering from apparent stab wounds and in critical condition. Preliminary findings revealed that Billy had been involved in an altercation in the parking lot of the Cypress Pointe Apartment Complex at 25 Knight Boxx Road, directly across the street from the store. During that encounter, he was stabbed multiple times.

Despite the severity of his injuries, Billy showed extraordinary determination in his final moments. He managed to drive himself to the Winn-Dixie in a desperate attempt to seek help. A passerby discovered him and immediately called 911. Deputies and Clay County Fire Rescue responded swiftly, administering emergency medical care before transporting Billy to a local hospital. Tragically, he later succumbed to his injuries. Authorities have stated that the individual who placed the 911 call is not believed to have been involved in the incident.

Beyond the heartbreaking circumstances of his death, Billy Clark Foster was a person whose life held meaning, relationships, and shared history. He was a son, a family member, a friend, and someone whose presence mattered deeply to those who knew him. Loved ones remember him through conversations shared, moments lived, and memories that will now be carried forward in his absence. His loss leaves an aching void—one that will not easily be filled.

As detectives continue to investigate the events surrounding this fatal stabbing, Billy’s family and friends are left to navigate an unimaginable grief. Acts of violence ripple far beyond the moment they occur, leaving lasting scars on families and communities who must carry the weight of such loss long after the headlines fade.
