Billy had a love for all animals, and animals loved him back. He had a presence that would help them calm down and relax.  Since the age of 16 he worked side by side with his dad, Boe, as a horse farrier.  This lead to him starting his own farrier service, Forever Farrier Service.  Billy had a heart big enough to share with everyone. His family was especially important to him. He would always stand up for his family and friends and never hesitated to put them in front of himself.  Billy's spirit of adventure was also very strong. He enjoyed rock climbing, bulldogging and climbing silos to name a few.  He had an amazing presence about him and everyone he knew had a favorite story to tell of his adventures. He enjoyed making people laugh, sitting around the dinner table doing voice impressions or being the life of the party.
