Billy and Mona, It has almost been two years. Not a day goes by when I don't think about you. Not only has your life been taken, but it seems that all of ours have been taken as well. The world is a much less beautiful place without you two in it. I am so honored to have been blessed with you as my brother and sister. I love you both. Keep poppin up in my dreams, please; it helps me to carry on. Kate

Losing an old high school friend can make you want the old times back. I seen Billy a few years ago, little did I know he lived around the corner from my son's grandparents, I've walked by there so many times. Good times will be remembered. Rest In Peace Billy, you are truly loved and missed by so many.
Thank you to Billy's neighbors who tried to help save them. To the family: May God be with you in this difficult time.

This is still so shocking to me. I will remeber him as a multi-talented person who just had this aura about him that made you want to laugh... especially when you were bored after school waiting for your basketball game to start. Although it has been awhile since I had seen him, I feel like it was just yesterday that we were in middle school at Hayes. So tragic. My heart is broken for both families.

We were just a bunch of crazy kids having fun. His notice said it perfect. He was truly "that guy". Even though I haven't seen him in years, I remember all the times he made me laugh, and all the crazy things we did. May you rest in peace my friend. We will meet again someday. To the Beckett family...My heart is so heavy for all of you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I haven't seen Billy in a few years, it came as a shock to me to see his name come up this way. I was only friends with him for a short time, but he was a fun guy to be around. I lived down the road from him in Wacousta. My prayers are with his family. RIP Billy

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Beckett family. Billy could always bring a smile to your face. His sence of humor is something I will NEVER forget. I havent seen Billy in couple years but he used to say this particular phrase that would crack me and MANY others up..."WHEEEEW WHEEEEWW WHEEEWWW!" That was Billy for ya.
He will be missed. :(

We were fortunate to meet Billy and Mona this past June in St Ignace at the car show through a mutual friend....They were a sweet couple, and just great kids, we hung out with them and some other friends for awhile that day and had the best time. We will always remember them in our hearts.......Our thoughts and prayers are with their family and friends, may God give them the strength to get thru this difficult time.

My favorite memories of Billy are what a great boy he was..and his amazing! left-handed pitching going back to younger teams in GL..
Next would be as his neighbor..anytime he was with friends, if I went out on my porch(they likes the little screned -in porch section)..he was ALWAYS polite and sweet to me..I'd say: "Hey guys, could ya keep it down ..and Billy would right away answe me.."Miss Diebolt..we will"!
He grew up with my son Dan..and being neighbors with the Beckett family made my life so much more fun and rewarding.
Bill, Dee and Katie..
Love you all and believe we will ALL meet again.
