Billy Barron Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Billy Barron, 14, died suddenly on Jan. 22, 2019. He was a healthy and happy canary up until the night before he died, so his death was a terrible shock. Billy apparently had a stroke during the night and had to be put to sleep. Making that horrible decision was one of the hardest things one could imagine. Billy loved music, especially hard rock and heavy metal. He also loved ‘80s jazz-rock singer Joe Jackson and his hit, “Steppin’ Out.” With that tune, or any hard rock song, Billy would start singing and nodding his head. As the song progressed, he would fiercely bang his head and dance around his cage. While Billy liked slow music, he would often stay silent during a slow tune. But when a rocker came on, he would go back to singing, dancing and headbanging. It was hilarious to see. Billy’s other passion was baseball. He loved listening to games on the radio and for years would sing from the first inning to the last during each game. Baseball won’t be the same without Billy around anymore. Eating was another of Billy’s favorite pastimes. He loved seeds, bird food and apples and ate plenty of each. At 14, Billy certainly lived a full and happy life. His spirit, energy and beautiful singing brightened the entire house. His death has left a terrible void in our home. Billy may have left this world, but he will never leave my heart. Take care, my great little friend. We will never forget you.
