William "Billy" Lee Bishop of Cincinnati, Ohio, born February 22, 1996, passed away on December 17, 2022. He was 26 years old.
Billy was known for his caring heart and listening ear. He approached life with a modest attitude and lived in the moment. Billy was a devoted Bengals fan whether they were winning or losing. He loved attending as many home games as he could. He also had a joy for fishing, either alone or with the company of good friends. To know him was to love him. He will truly be missed, and never, ever, be forgotten.
Billy is survived by his mother, Lisa (Timothy Abbott) Bishop; father, James Bishop Jr.; maternal grandparents, Edward and Margery Venable; paternal grandparents, James and Beverly Bishop; sister, Amanda (Timothy) Hancock; nephew, Jonah; niece, Veronica; uncle, Brian Venable; aunt, Mary (Thomas) Pennekamp; and cousins, Jamie, Jesse, Holly, and Debra. He is also survived by many extended family members and close friends.
