Valdor William John III (Billy), Age 33, born in Bartow, Florida April 11, 1991. Left his earthly vessel in Bradenton, Florida on October 3,2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Billy would not have wanted friends and family to mourn, but to remember the great times and celebrate his life.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Billy\u2019s greatest passion was music. Playing his guitar, singing, and writing songs. He enjoyed nature walks on the beach, theatre, and dance. He did several different plays and musicals during high school.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Billy will be dearly missed, loved, and cherished forever in our hearts.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someone said to me recently that death is like a butterfly.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your body is the cocoon, and your soul is the butterfly.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fly free my baby.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Billy is survived by his parents; Valdor William John, Helen Carlene Allen, his sister, and brother; Angelica Lynn John and Darrell Andrew Collins and his son Tyler age 9, stepparent; Darlene Mathany and stepbrother and sister; Jody Pewitt and Angela Nichols. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
