Honoring Bill Bill's Memory: Support His Funeral & Children

I am completely heartbroken to share that Bill Bill gained his wings unexpectedly on August 7th doing one of the things he loved most, riding his motorcycle. We are hoping to be able to raise enough money for his funeral service. Any donation remaining will go toward college funds for his two beautiful children, Billy (12) and Madison (8).

For anyone that knew Bill, you know that riding was one of his deepest passions. He would say that if he ever died on his bike to not be sad because he was doing something that he truly loved. While being sad is inevitable, we are hoping to find some peace in his statement.

Bill was an incredible father and lived for his children. Billy and Madison will never have to go a day without knowing how loved they were by their dad. He was always making sure to teach his kids the power of helping other people, teaching them respect, kindness, and compassion.

Bill is reunited with his brother Christopher in heaven and there is no doubt they are already raising some hell. Heaven has so many of our loved ones and I know Bill is at his eternal peace.

Bill is leaving behind his momma, Colleen, who was the one that believed in him no matter what, she was his number one fan, and loved him more than words could describe. His sister, Jessica, who he always supported and would do absolutely anything for. His dad, Bill, who taught him so many important things in life and shared many of the same passions. His children's mother, Krissy, who he loved and raised his babies with. Not to mention an entire village of family and friends who can hardly bare his loss.

To say Bill loved an adventure is an understatement. He was a true adrenaline junkie and loved the thrill of life. Bill found his greatest tranquility being in nature whether it was hunting, fishing, riding, or just being outdoors.

Bill was also extremely proud of his recovery and to be a part of the AA community. He would have celebrated 6 years this September and now he will have eternal sobriety. Bill was known for helping others, especially those battling addiction and in recovery. He was a sponsor, mentor, and proud member of the rooms. Bill was always helping others to try and reach their full potential and to see themselves in a brighter light. He spent many hours of his free time collecting donations for the homeless and feeding people down in Kensington. If you are ever looking for a way to honor Bill's memory, simply help another person.

We are in the process of planning his funeral arrangements and will be sure to share his service information. We welcome those who loved Bill to come and celebrate his life. We will be asking that anyone who would want to speak, share a memory, story, or kind word to please do so as we believe talking about him and reliving his memory will help us all heal.

I also want to take this time to thank everyone for the outpouring of love and support that our family has been receiving. It truly means the word.

Until we meet again my brother, you are so loved and missed.
