This memorial website was dedicated in the memory of my son William F. Umstadter II.
He was 39 years old, born on January 10, 1982 and unexpectedly passed away on April 19, 2021.

Son of Abbey S. Hunter and the Late William F Umstadter Sr. 
Brother to Tristan S. Umstadter,  Amanda L. Johnson and the Late Sarra Anne Umstadter.
Maternal Grandmother, the Late Roslyn Baum.   Paternal Grandparents, the Late George and Anne Umstadter. 
Billy was the proud father of Allison Taylor Umstadter, he would be so proud of the young woman she has become. Allison is very much like her dad, with ocean blue eyes and a beautiful, kind soul. This is truly sad as Billy will miss many life milestones Allison will eventually reach and she will not have her Dad to be there for her. Graduating high school, getting married, having children.
Billy has two nieces and adored them both. Harlee and Harper Baker. Billy used to go for long walks with them while visiting in Tennessee with his sister, Amanda. According to Amanda, he taught them how to throw rocks at houses lol. Billy and his brother Tristan were close. They would often ride their dirt bike, quad, snow mobiles on our property in Johnsonville. They both fought like brothers but loved each other always. Billy and Amanda had a special big brother, little sister bond. Some things they did together I never wanted to know about. Amanda knows exactly what I am referring to. Last time Billy and Amanda were together was in the mountains of Georgia riding their mountain bikes together the day of her wedding when she married Brandon, days before Billy passed away. Every day together truly is a blessing never to be taken for granted. Amanda and Billy had many fond memories together while he was visiting her in Tennessee, I will leave it at that. Billy had a wild side, but was true to himself and his family and friends.
Billy had one true friend from high school, her name was Jill (McNaughton) Ryan. He repsected and admired her until the end she remained true.

Billy resided in Schaghticoke most of his life and attended Hoosic Valley Central School from kindergarten until he graduated Class of 2000.
Billy worked for Quality Retail System 2004-2020, then he pursued a career with Global Foundries in 2017 until 2020.
Billy moved to Chapel Hill North Carolina to pursue employment at Cree Wolfspeed in Durham North Carolina in 2020-2021.

Sadly, Billy passed away suddenly April 19th, 2021. Life has forever changed for his family and friends with his loss.

There is not a day that goes by that Billy is not missed by friends and family.  I will never let his beautiful light fade. His humor, his laugh, his loyalty to friends and family will always be remembered.
 
Let his memory bring joy to our hearts always and forever.

Today is three years since you left this Earth and gained your angel wings. Not a day goes by Billy that I don't think of you and wish this was all just a bad dream that I will wake up from. The reality is, you're not ever coming back.
I will miss you every day until we see each other again.
Til then, give Heaven some hell my beautiful boy.

I miss you so much Billy. It is almost three years since I lost you. They all lied, it does not get any easier. Obviously, they never lost a child. They can't even imagine losing a child. I love you my beautiful boy.

I thought I would just say, I had a DeJa'Vu today when this guy in a truck looked very similar to you. I have been really missing you terribly. I am seeing more subliminal signs this past week. I hope you are ok; it is the only thing that gets me through each day. I miss you Billy boy. I love you with every fiber of my being.

If I made it through first year after losing you, I think I can make it through.
I really miss you Billy. Life on Earth is boring without you. I miss your laugh, your dark humor, I miss everything about you. What I think of most is precious time I had with you when you were very young, inquisitive and just plain adorable. Beautiful brown curly hair, brilliant blue eyes, you gave the best hugs. I miss you Billy boy. I still think you are going to call any day or show up at my door. I still have a difficult time believing this is real and not a bad dream.

Coming up on two-year anniversary since losing you. It does not get easier at all; I don't care what anyone says, losing children is not supposed to happen.
I miss you. I wish I had a chance to say goodbye. I wish we talked more the Friday before you passed away. Something told me to give you a call back, but I just did not want to argue with you.
I love you Billy boy. I miss you so much.

Just thinking about you Billy. Almost two years and it is still so hard to believe. You're an amazing boy. Wish I had answers, but I think it is better left unknown, until I see you again, then you can explain.
I love you Billy boy. Give Sarra a big hug and kiss, tell Grandma Ros I miss her so much. I hope you, Grandma Ros, Grandma, Grandpa George, Sarra are together and your Dad. You would love my Grandmother (Baum) Anna, my mom's mother, let's not forget Nan, my great grandmother. She was a great strong woman. I cry everyday. I miss you so much Billy.

For the first time in over a year, I was able to look at this website Mom made for you. I try to live life like normal and bury the pain of losing you. But I have days that I want to feel that pain, so I look at all your pictures in my phone, videos where I can hear your voice, and I read our last text because I can’t bring myself to delete them. There has been many times I started to text you and then reality hits every time that I can’t. I pray often and I always end my prayers by asking God to hug you for me, tell you how much I love and miss you, and how damn proud of you I am and will always be. I miss you coming to Tennessee to visit, the shenanigans that we got into over the years…. I told Mom about them all… I struggle so badly when I think about how your last week on Earth was with me… Did I miss a sign from you that you were struggling, that you were hurting? Maybe i could have prevented your ending if I would have just noticed?? I remember one conversation so vividly that week and I just wonder, was that you telling me??? It literally haunts me, Billy… I miss you so damn bad, we got so close in our adult years. You had a heart of gold, even with all the shit life threw at you. All you ever wanted was love… I hope Heaven is giving you all the love and feelings that you so desperately wanted on this scummy Earth. Billy, you were one of my best friends, and one day I will get to see you again. Until then, l hope we are all making you proud.

It is so hard to believe that 41 years ago at 11 pm I went into labor for my firstborn son, William. Tomorrow will be so hard. You came to me in a dream the other night, you looked so happy and healthy. Your hair style was so adorable and your clothes, wow, Billy, you have style in Heaven my boy. Amanda is my strength right now. We talk sometimes for hours about you as if you were still here. I will never forget you, Billy. I wish I knew how to save you before it was too late. Help your brother and sister get through this. And your daughter, she is really struggling, she is stubborn like you.

Merry Heavenly Christmas my son. I miss you so much. Today and everyday will always be hard for me until the day I take my last breath.
Your smirk, your laugh, your dark humor. I miss everything about you, you flatulence, your burping "Oh my god." I was remembering you as a little boy, about one years old, in your grey corduroy coveralls and striped shirt always running toward me as you would fall into my arms into a big hug. God, you were so special to me. So, trusting that I would catch you, but I always did. I loved you so much when you were just a little one. And still love you so much. There is nothing I can do about the how and why, just know this, you were my first, I was closest to you, you were sensitive like me, stubborn like me and can say hurtful things when we were angry, but we always apologized and felt terrible for what we said out of anger. I love you. Wish you were here. Give Grandma Ros and Sarra big hug and kiss, tell them I love them so much.

I keep having dreams about you. I expect you to come home any time. I look for you to walk up to me at any moment. But it doesn't happen. It is a daily reminder that you really are never coming back. I think about you all the time. I wish I could pick up the phone a talk to you. Instead, I text your phone number with not a response.
I love you Billy boy. It is too much for me to handle at times about the how and why. Wish you were here. So many things I wish I did not take advantage of while you were here like a simple call just to hear your voice. Things between us were not great after a certain dirty girl wrecked our relationship. Always know I love you always. Nothing could or would ever change that.

It is getting close to a year without hearing your voice, your little jokes and pranks to make me upset with you. That is what I miss the most about you.
It is hard to breathe without you at times. I miss you more than you will ever know. I wonder why...why you...our life together was short, I loved every second Billy. I will see you in my dreams my beautiful boy.

For the first time in 40 years, I will not celebrate Christmas without you Billy.
I physically feel stuck in the universe. I cannot move on since you left. I feel empty without you. My most sensitive and inquisitive boy, you are so missed.  Everyone is moving on with life while I seem to be lost in the moment when I heard the terrible news you passed away.
I love you beyond words. I wish I knew what was going on in your mind. I wish I could have helped you... I wish I could have saved you my beautiful boy.  Wishing you a heavenly Christmas

His Life

Billy's Life

May 5, 2021
Billy attended Hoosic Valley Central School from kindergarten until he graduated Class of 2000.
I still remember blue jeans with suspenders, docksiders, green and navy blue rugby shirt on Billy's first day of school. He waved than got on the bus. That's when I realized I had to allow my son to enter big world and my protection wouldn't always be enough. 
In 2004, Billy became the proud father of Allison Taylor Umstadter. He loved Allison so very much. I see Billy in Allison, her  beautiful sky blue eyes. Billy and Allison  had one thing is common and that is the ability to burp the loudest and longest. Sounds gross but that was Billy's trademark. Well and flatulence that would clear a room, I knew just by the grin on his face what was coming.
He resided in Schaghticoke most of his life.   Until he moved to Malta NY in 2017.
In Billy's late teens he worked for Richie's Pizza in Schaghticoke. He then worked at Quality Retail System in Schaghticoke,  in 2018 he worked  Global Foundries in Malta NY.  Billy studied for his EMT in 2019-2020 Billy received his NYS certificate as an EMT through Global Foundries,   I was so proud of him.
In 2020 he took a position at Cree Wolfspeed in Durham North Carolina. 

In 2017 Billy lost his dad to cancer and was at his side until the Bill Sr. passed away July 29th, 2017.  This truly was the saddest time for Billy.

Billy was a go getter, he helped his dad's elderly friends cut wood, mow lawns, yard work,  bring groceries when they were too sick to do on their own. He was always there for friends to help with anything they needed. That was my son, a kind, caring loving person, old soul.

Billy was a dreamer,  he dreamed of owning a  blue Corvette. When he was 10, he wanted to be a truck driver which he acheived and worked for R.J Valenti  trucking company.

Billy was very close to his brother Tristan and his sister Amanda.
Billy and Tristan were inseparable buddies from time Tristan could walk up until Billy's passing.  Billy was in New York for his birth day in January 2021 when he was with his cousin Jimmy were at Peddler's,  Billy threw a potato bomb in the parking lot of Peddler's scaring the bajesus out of his cousin Jimmy.  We laugh when we think of the prankster Billy was. He always would  laugh while I  was angry at him. I would give anything for that again Billy. To hear your laugh again. To see that smirk on your face. Priceless.
Billy attended his sister Amanda's wedding on
April 15th 2021, doing what he loved most which was riding his mountain bike down a the Rocky Mountains in Georgia with Amanda and her spouse Brandon.
This was the last time we saw  Billy.
He had a beautiful smile and ocean blue eyes.   He was happiest  riding his mountain bike, ATV, Croc Rocket  anything fast and on wheels, that is the thrill Billy had  in life.
We miss you Billy more than you will ever know, This is a sad tragic loss.  

I pray you are in a good place with your sister Sarra Anne,  Grandma Ros and your Dad.  Until we see each other again, I will miss you each and every day.  My first born, my sweet boy❤️Billy Boy  ❤️I love you always

When I was 19, I gave birth to a beautiful son William Frederick Umstadter II.
It was love at first sight.  I promised to protect you from the evil in this world as long as I was alive. You were inquisitive and curious and loved fast machines no matter what they were.
I thought I lost you when you crashed your motorcycle. Something changed in you that day and you lost that grin that was ear to ear.  You became another person I hardly knew but all I wanted was to protect you from the shit in this world. 
You always wanted to help others but where were they when you needed help. 
The pain I feel without you hurts my heart. I have all the guilt of why couldn't I protect you, why couldn't I see what was going on in your head. Why didn't I try a little harder to reach out to you. You were always angry at me, I think it was because you knew I was right and I would always have your back my son. There is never a moment I don't have you on my mind. There isn't a day I don't cry over you.  You were a lost  kind and caring soul in a bad world. 
I will love you forever. 
Our lives will never be the same without you. I lost my firstborn son,  Allison lost her dad, Amanda and Tristan lost their brother, Tristan lost  his best man at his wedding. Tristan and Billy  were buddy's for life and all that was lost on April 19th 2021.  I pray you are in Heaven with your sister Sarra Anne.  I hope your spirit is free and happy.   No regrets no anger just a free spirit now Billy.   I hope you are in that Blue Corvette in Heaven.
I will always love you Billy.
I wish I could have saved you
