This week has felt like a bad dream. It started out with my bed getting kicked in the early a.m by Frank, he told me the news about our friend Billy being in the hospital from Clint, and moments later said he passed away. I was shocked and in denial the whole day, thinking he was gonna come by the shop, have a beer, and share some laughs.. 5:30pm came around, then it hit me really hard. My head is still messed up at the moment by his passing and all I keep remembering was the night before hanging out at the shop till 1 in the morning and giving him that last peace sign before he entered Interstate 15.
That night Billy, Clint, Jessica, Christian, Ryan, Frank, Bruce, Bryan, and I had a blast and we were looking forward to episode 2 the following day. There was so much that happened that day/night, but this is what sticks out at the moment. Clint and Billy raced each other on foot up the shop's driveway and Billy lost to Clint. Next, Frank, Ryan, and Bryan raced. Bryan took 1st, Frank came in 2nd and Ryan got shit for placing 3rd. LOL!!! We also had a very deep conversation about the scene in Utah, his kids, how much he loved them and his boys, where the shop is heading in the next few years, his car and so on for hours..
Billy would go out his way to help out a friend and not have any hidden gratitude that comes with it. Billy was an extordinary man, father, son, husband, brother, and friend. He represented supremacy racing to the fullest! Billy was a hardworker, a great welder, he always had a smile on his face and had a ''one-off'' laugh lol. ''One-off'' was Billy's word, he would use it when describing something that is custom/one of a kind..
Billy,
My heart is broken by our loss and I'm sure everyone else feels the same way. I feel blessed having you as friend, who later became a brother to all of us. I will never forget how much you helped me out on my personal project because we spent many days/nights at the shop working. I will get you that "one-off" supremacy sticker on your windshield. Thank you for being a part of our lives. We (and I'm speaking on the behalf of the supremacy racing family) miss you and you'll defiantly be remembered. We also want to send our condolences to your family.
Your friends,
kel supremacy and your brothers at supremacy racing.
