Our quiet gentle giant, "Shorty" Billy Burns, passed away unexpectedly from this earth on Sunday, November 16th at Cabinet Peaks Medical Center in Libby due to a clot in his leg that turned into a pulmonary embolism in his lung. He was 45. Shorty was raised in Texas and spent the last 10 years in Libby with his loving wife Ann. He was Ann's 'Big Old Teddy Bear' and together, along with their 2 faithful dogs Duke and Daisy, they enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting, spending time with friends, church activities, and renovating their home.

Survivors include his loving wife Ann Burns; his mother Linda Newton; brother Jeff Burns and a sister Becky Allbright; a son Justin Burns; special nephew Matt Crone; niece Dixie Burns and many close and special friends.
