Billy, you are already missed. Thank you for being such a good friend. You are the smartest guy I know that can fix any machine. Will miss your calls to Johnny and getting him, all ramped up! Our deepest sympathy to the family. Continued prayers for peace and comfort in the days ahead.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Billy’s family and friends.
Our prayers and thoughts are you Anna and family.

To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die.
Rest in peace cousin.
Billy worked for my father, Hank Parkman, for several years as a Bobcat mechanic among many other things. He taught me a lot as I worked in the repair shop as a young boy and teenager. He and Leonard “Pudgy” Evans were instrumental in developing my skills and work ethic. Billy cleaned up more messes I made than I can remember and he even bandaged my on the job injuries from time to time. He was always in good spirits and an all around good guy. I am so sorry for your loss. My hope and prayer is that you are able to celebrate his life and that God may grant your family peace. My dad, Hank, passed away back in 2016. I know he always thought so much of Billy.
Hugs
I have very fond memories of Billy – He was my favorite customer at Bobcat – He and I could sit and talk about any and everything under the sun!! His love for his wife and Family and how he spoke of them often, he loved them dearly. Along with his BOBCAT Equipment!! I grew to love him over time and we became very close. We are going to miss his smile, jokes and most of all his big heart! He was one of the smartest men – And taught me a lot about the Bobcat – He was the Best at fixing them!!
Our community lost a great man. He has left us lots of memories and I will cherish those for life.
May God Bless his Family and Friends and Bring them Peace thru this hard time. Rest in Heaven Billy!!
We Love You and Mrs. Ann!! <3
Love & Hugs to Mrs. Ann & family. We had lots of laughs because of one particular customer Billy & Mike had in common, even in Durango, Colorado. He was one of a kind friend and we are going to miss his fun instigating, stories & just being himself! Prayers for peace in the memories of a wonderful man in the coming days, months & years to follow.
