Billy Sword Obituary
Billy proudly served his country as a member of the United States Army, embodying the values of honor and commitment.
Billy's greatest joy was his family. He treasured every moment spent with his beloved grandchildren, Anderson, Enzo, and Joseph Sword. His love for the great outdoors was matched only by his love for his family, and he could often be found sharing his passion for nature with them.
He is survived by his devoted sons, Alan Sword (Jea) and Jason Sword (Erica). His legacy continues through his cherished grandchildren, Anderson, Enzo, and Joseph, who will remember him as a devoted grandfather and a guiding light in their lives.
Billy is preceded in death by his his parents Paul and Violet Sword, his beloved spouse Mary Kaye Sword, his sister Paula Sword Langly, and his step-father Gary England. His memory will indelibly live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
