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
