In February of 2017, on Super Bowl Sunday, Billy came to Texas to live with his brother Jimmy and sister-in-law Rachel.

Billy pursued many interests, some of which were watching television, specifically wrestling, Facebooking and previously mowing the yard. He was a good hearted man inside and out. Billy was the type of person who would do anything to help anyone, it did not matter what the situation was. If one were to be asked they might say that he was a “big talker” and was the center of attention at all times. Billy’s family was his pride and joy, he enjoyed nothing more than the time he spent with them all. He loved living with his brother and sister-in-law, Rachel. Billy adored his nieces and nephews and loved them unconditionally. He also loved his brother’s grandchildren as if they were his own.

Billy was a loving son, brother, uncle and great-uncle and friend to many. He was preceded in death by his mother Norma; and his sister Kathy Fries. He leaves behind to cherish his loving memory his father William “Bill” Yohey of Piqua, Ohio; his sister Gale  Garwood and husband Bart of Piqua, Ohio; his brother Jimmy Yohey and wife Rachel of Dayton, Texas; his brother-in-law Richard Fries of Covington, Ohio; his nephews and nieces Daniel Yohey and wife Leslie, Miranda Carroll and husband Cherad, Joshua Yohey and wife Ashley, and Cody Hunter and wife Kayla; his great-nephews and great- nieces Kadence Carroll, Keira Carroll, Camryn Yohey, Addison Yohey, Ayden Cummings, and Vivian Yohey; and a host of other loving relatives and friends.
