Sometimes we tuck memories away so we can move on with our life but at a time like this, they come rushing back. Billy spent time with me and my family when we were teenagers. He was working at Kidwell’s grocery store & I was working at the county assessor’s office. My dad was quite the adventurer & Billy accompanied us on fishing & camping trips & other outings. We danced at the Briarwood & made trips to Bryan Park to see the azaleas in full bloom. His family & I would pile in the car to eat pizza at the Celebrity Room and attend car shows. Billy had this big green car (maybe a Monte Carlo) that had swivel seats in the front. I always thought that was the coolest car ever. Times were good. I lost my beloved dad a couple of years ago & I miss him every day but we always had a good time sharing our family time and fun adventures with others. His family was very kind to me as well. Billy & I each followed our own paths in life and I have no doubt that he found the happiness he was looking for, as did I. Bless you and your family. Thank you for the memories.

To Pam and Cathy, I did not know Billy and I apologize for that. But if he was your brother I’m sure he was alright. So sorry for your loss, especially him being so young. I pray he’s in the Lord’s care and waiting to one day welcome y’all Home. My sincere condolences go out to y’all during this time and pray you find peace in his passing. God needed Billy more than you did. Love Jack

Deepest condolences and prayers to Ryan’s family and friends. Such a wonderful person taken too soon from the people who loved him. I will never forget the great dinner parties he and Travis threw, and how he made everyone feel welcomed to be there. So very kindhearted to everyone that knew him. This world is missing a bright light with him gone. R.I.P dear sweet Ryan.
