Billy Jr. Patti, Karen and family and the Barker family, Heaven definitely got another angel upon receipt of your dear Billy. He was a kind and generous man.. thoughtful and passionate. His heart was irreparably broken when Megan went home to the Lord last year.. I pray he will rest peacefully in God's gentle arms with his beautiful daughter.. I pray that the family will find comfort in many happy memories and that Billy's legacy will live on in Billy Jr. and his beautiful Patti.. Sending you love and light and all of God's blessing at this undoubtedly unbearably difficult time.

To the Barker Family; so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Billy was an amazing, loving person who cared and made people laugh. I will always remember our time in school together and the times of the last few years that we had chances to talk and laugh of the past. You will surely be missed. Billy you are at peace now another angel to watch over the ones he loves. Although taken too soon in life; may the family find peace in the loving memories and laughter in things he did to make others smile. He will forever live in memory and our hearts.

I was so sad to learn of Billy's passing. We were high school friends and I had really enjoyed reconnecting with him on facebook. I will always remember him for his genuine care and compassion for others, his sense of humor, and his naturalness with making everyone around him feel so very comfortable.
