Billy’s son, Billy Keyes, shared that the past few months were some of the happiest his father had experienced in a long time.

So far, the community has come together, raising $1,315 through 18 donations. Among the supporters are James Howard, who made a recent donation of $100, Michael Ashwell, who contributed $250 as the top donor, and Rebecca Jean Kidd, who was the first to donate with $200.
The outpouring of love and support from the community has been overwhelming, with countless messages and posts across social media reflecting the impact Billy Sr. had on everyone around him. Known for his larger-than-life personality, he will be remembered fondly by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
During this difficult time, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Billy Keyes Jr and his family. May the love and support of friends and the community bring them comfort in the days ahead.
