Billy was an amazing person. I grew up with him in Butler. I was a little kid and always got picked on. He was always there to stand up for my and would fight anyone that thought they were big enough you bully me. You will be missed dear friend. I am praying for you entire family! 

Growing up you were one of my best friends. You were always up for anything. I was proud to have as my big brother. You were always ready to protect me with your WWE wrestling moves, but sometimes you would try them on me too. Haha. I never stood a chance in our wrestling matches. You helped mom teach me how to ride my bike, played impossibly difficult video games with me, and always shared *the best* snack ideas. You were never “too cool” as an older brother to spend time with me. I’m so proud of the way you made a life for yourself and found such happiness and joy. You were a lucky man the day you met Vali. She gave you the love and inspiration to show the world the soft, gentle man I had always known you to be. She gave you the opportunity to be the father we never got to have and I am so proud of you for raising such great kids. You will be greatly missed, but I’m so thankful that you had so many great years surrounding by love and happiness. Rest easy, Bubba. ♥️

My Dad thought me almost everything I know. He taught me how to be a man when my biological father wanted nothing to do with me. He stepped up and was the best dad that everyone could ever ask for and always will be. I love you dad🧡
