William "Billy" R. Greene II

Born on October 27, 1995, in Ogdensburg, Billy was the beloved son of William and Sally (Reynolds) Greene. He grew up in a close-knit family and attended Lisbon High School. Following his schooling, he entered the workforce and was employed at Nice & Easy, Ansen, Price Chopper, Walmart, and Connect. Billy took pride in earning his own way and valued the friendships he made with coworkers and customers alike.

Billy was a young man with a kind heart, a quick smile, and a deep love for his family. He faced many challenges throughout his life, including a courageous and ongoing battle with addiction. Though his struggles were difficult, those who knew Billy best never lost sight of his caring spirit, his humor, and the love he carried for those around him. His family hopes he will be remembered not for the hardships he endured, but for the person he was at his core — someone who longed for connection, understanding, and a fresh start.

In his free time, Billy enjoyed playing video games and spending hours immersed in friendly competition with friends and family. He was an avid sports fan and could often be found cheering on his favorite teams, especially the LA Lakers, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Ohio State College Football. Whether watching a big game or debating plays and stats, Billy’s enthusiasm was unmistakable.

Above all, Billy treasured his family. He shared a special bond with his parents, who remained steadfast in their love and support for him throughout his life. He was proud of his siblings and loved being an uncle. His laughter and presence at family gatherings will be deeply missed.

Billy is survived by his parents, William and Sally Greene of Ogdensburg; his two brothers, Brent Sullivan of Lisbon and Shaun (Amber) Sullivan of Dupont, WA; his sister, Erin (Matt) Stone of Canton; his niece, Audrey Sullivan; his two nephews, Ryan Greene and his fiancé, Kiley, and Alex Stone; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins who loved him.

He was predeceased by his grandparents and other family members who welcomed him home.

Billy’s family would like his life to serve as a reminder of the very real struggles of addiction and the importance of compassion and support for those who are battling substance use disorder. In honoring his memory, they encourage others to reach out for help, to offer kindness without judgment, and to hold loved ones close.
