I just heard about this yesterday, and feel I need to give my heartfelt condolences to the family. I too lost a son to a drunk driver and the pain is just too overwhelming for me at times so I know how you are feeling. My son was killed 3/15/08 and was the same age born 1980 the driver was only charged with a dui.If any family member of Billy’s wants to talk with our family let us know. God be with you and yours.

Billy, you will forever be in our hearts, you will continue on in those who love you. We will never forget your shine and the smile on your face! Rest now, and one day we’ll see you again..

Peggy and Dennis,

I cannot pretend to imagine your pain through these times. To borrow/paraphrase a line from President Lincoln, during the Civil War:

“I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have” raised such a exemplary person.

You two, and all the extended friends and family did a spectacular job, and we are all thankful for the time we did have with Billy.

For the first time I am at a loss for words….Finding out the news about Billy’s death has been a very rude awakening that has made me realize that nothing is promised in this world, and to live everyday to it’s fullest! My heart goes out to Billy’s family and friends may you all find peace.

I am so incredibly sad that I will not be there for the services so I wanted to share a simple word that will FOREVER allow me to think Of Billy. “Smile” that was my immediate reaction every time he walked in a room!! He was truly more than words can ever describe & I am missing him dearly…..

I pray for peace to you & your family Billy……Always!

Our thoughts and prayers are with Billy’s family and everyone whose life Billy touched. His sincerity is what made him shine so much. He could definitely light up a room with his smile. There are very few people you meet in life that make such an impact on you and Billy was that person. Heaven has certainly gained a special angel.

I went to turn on my light in my bathroom last night and it did not come on right away. It’s about to short out like my other bathroom did. I thought to myself, “Better call Billy and get him over here to help me fix it” (we spent over two hours trying to figure out the last one due to 40+ year old wiring). Then it really hit me that he would never be coming over again. Such a great person has been taken from us and he will be missed. My prayers go out to all of his family and friends. May he rest in peace…

First of all, thank you Mr. Dennis and Mrs. Peggy for the amazing blessing you gave to this world in your son, Billy.

Billy, you was always one of the corner stones in everything we did as a group. We were more than just a group of friends, we were like family. And like such, we will miss you so much. Although your time here was so short, you touched so many lives. And forever will remember you and cherish you like one of our own.

You were an inspiration to many of us when you was with physically with us, and now, it’s obvious, you’re still an inspiration to all of us, in how to become someone loved by so many for being how you were.

Thank you brother, we love you.

“It’s only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth — and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up — that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.”
This, I feel Billy did every day!

Thank you Mrs. Peggy and Mr. Dennis for raising such a wonderful man! Our prayers are with you!
Billy, I can see your halo and you are so beautiful!
