He has been part of the @discovery family for years - a trailblazer, a lovely man, and most definitely one of a kind. Our heart is with his family and those that knew him and loved him as they deal with this devastating loss.”
Just a few years ago, Billy’s wife Ami was facing lung cancer. She was diagnosed in 2017, and the family moved from Alaska to the North Cascades of Washington during her treatment. Ami was declared cancer-free in late 2018.
Billy was the father of eight children, including seven with Ami.
