Billy was born on October 11, 1955 in Chicago, Illinois, son of William and  Jeanette (Harvey) Dues.

Billy loved to cook, especially in chili cook offs.  He was always willing to entertain and making people laugh.  He was very compassionate and would give you the shirt off of his back if it was needed.  He found joy in the Steelers, riding motorcycles and had an artistic side, leaving doodles for his kids to start their day.  Above all he loved his children and cherished the time he spent with them. 

Those left to honor his memory include his children, Nicole (Brad) Bivens, Allysa Dues, and Lexy (Travis Prochaska) Dues; grandchildren Parker, Jordyn, Evyn, Margaret (Marlee), Blakely, Emery, Otis and Piper; siblings Annie Schumate, Laura Picchiotti and Sarah Hauri; and best friends Danny Welsh and John Clarke.

He was preceded in death by his parents, son Logan, and sister Kathleen.
