Billy "Bill" Edmond Burch, a cherished man and respected in the oil industry passed away on May 21, 2025, at the age of 66. Born on September 11, 1958, Billy's life was marked by his calm demeanor, amiable nature, and remarkable skill with his hands.
Billy was preceded in death by his father, Billy Frank Burch, his mother, Juanita Vaughan Burch, and his sister, Karen Burch Davis. He was also preceded by his adored aunt Linnie Seabolt and many of his parents' siblings. His legacy continues through his sons, Trent Hutchings Burch-Bowser and Tye Morris Burch-Bowser, who will carry on the memories he instilled in them. He is also survived by his cousins Sammy L. Klutts and his wife Rosemary Klutts, Jimmie Lawrence Vaughan as well as nieces & nephews and their families.
Throughout his life, Billy excelled in the oil industry, a career that allowed him to express his innate problem-solving abilities and contribute significantly to numerous projects. He was quick to aid those around him.
An avid outdoorsman, Billy found joy in fishing and boating. His love for working on cars was more than a hobby, it was a passion. Also, a sharpshooter at heart, Billy thoroughly enjoyed target shooting. He always showed great skill at it. Those who knew Billy will remember his handy nature, which meant he was always ready to help others. Billy's absence will be deeply felt, but his memory will continue to inspire kindness in all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
