Obituary published on Legacy.com by Best Funeral Services Peoria on Dec. 8, 2025.
Michael William Conard A.K.A. Billy November 20, 1947 - November 24, 2025
The world became a little less bright on November 24, 2025 with the passing of Mike (Billy) Conard. Born in Charleston, West Virginia on November 20, 1947. Mike's infectious laughter and unending humor, brought joy to everyone around him.
Mike was preceded in death by his parents Bill and Jean Conard, his sister Betty Jean Kilmer, his brother David Conard, his daughter Kathy Schiller, his granddaughter Amanda Anthony, and his nephew Shawn Kilmer.
Mike was a devoted husband to his loving wife Patty of 27 years, dedicated Dad to his daughters Rhonda, Christy, Kathy and Mindi and his son Mike. He was a proud grandfather of 18 and great grandfather to 34, and a loyal friend to many.
Whether he was telling jokes, hosting the holiday dinners, or showing off his singing voice at karaoke, Mike made every moment memorable.
A celebration of Mike's life will be held at noon at The Vineyard 6250 W Peoria, Glendale AZ 85302, with a reception to follow at home of his granddaughter Brianna Fout 87th Ave and Beardsley.
