In Loving Memory of William “Billy” Houseknecht

Age 43

Tragically taken far too soon in a car accident

We are heartbroken to share the sudden passing of William “Billy” Houseknecht, a devoted husband,father, coach, and beloved member of the Clymer community.

Billy was the kind of person who gave his all—for his family, for local kids, and for anyone who needed a helping hand. A proud and involved father, he never missed a game or a chance to support his children. He spent countless hours coaching the Little Comets football team and the girls’ elementary basketball team. In years past, he also coached baseball and served on the board for Clymer Little League, as well as the Little Comets football and cheer program.

Billy was more than just a coach—he was a mentor, a volunteer, and a friend to many. His passion for youth sports, his community, and most of all, his family, was evident in everything he did.

This GoFundMe has been created to help support Billy’s family during this incredibly difficult time. Donations will go toward funeral expenses and to help ease the financial burden on his loved ones as they begin to navigate life without him.

Every donation, no matter the amount, is deeply appreciated. Thank you for supporting a family and community grieving the loss of an extraordinary man.
