My family had the pleasure of meeting Billy when we visited Uncle Gene and Aunt Helen several years ago. I still remember that evening when he and his dad Bill grilled steaks. It was a wonderful and memorable family get-together in Arizona, one I will always remember and treasure. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. I'm sorry we can't be in Mesa with you, but know that we are there in our hearts. Love, Kay, Mark, Michael, Elizabeth & Family

Billy, You don't know how devastated we all are by your passing. We've all realized that our love for you is more than you could ever know. I, as your father, wish we could have been together more, but we had a great time when we were.. Billy, I'm hoping you were and are now close to God. He is the only way and the only light. Follow Him and praise Him because He is truth, love, and kindness. God is Alfa and Omega---the beginning and the end. I love you very much my son, Love Dad PS I hope to see you in heaven praising God

Billy,
I never had the opportunity to meet your son but, even before reading about him here, I had in my mind to say that I am sure he was a great person. Having known you most of my life I have no doubt you were a big and good influence on him as a child and as an adult so he had to be great. My heart goes out to you and your family in your time of grief and I wish you all the best.

I was pleased to have spent time with Billy on a couple of occasions. For the most part, I simply know him by the memories of his Father, Billy Stephen, who dearly loved and enjoyed his son. May all who have memories of Billy share them with one another, but most of all share those memories with his family who will need to hear them during the days and weeks and years ahead.
With sincere sorrow for your loss,

Even though I do not understand why your time was finished here I know that you are safe and with God. Words cannot express the sadness in my heart. Thank you Billy, for being such a sweet friend to me and ALWAYS being there when I needed you. I wish I would have said it to you sooner.
