Billy loved music. He enjoyed playing several different instruments but really loved the Harmonica and the Drums. Singing also brought him great joy. A Diet Pepsi and a 3 Musketeers were two of Billy's very favorite treats and he was always thrilled to receive them.

Billy was a great guy. He was always happy and had a smile on his face. He will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved him.

He is survived by his sister Rebecca Neibert, his nephews Richard and Robert Michalski, his great niece and nephews Taylor and Ashton and many other loving family members and friends.

Billy was happily greeted in heaven by his Dad, Mom and his brother-in-law Devon Neibert.
