Billy Mac Strong

On September 29th, Billy Mac Strong passed away surrounded by his loving wife, Dedra, and his three boys, Gary, Dustin, and Jack.

Bill was a humble proud man and loved those nearest to him fiercely. He loved his wife, kids, grandkids, sisters, brothers, dogs, and guns.

At the age of 73, there's a lot to say with just few words. He was an Albion Indiana native but loved Montana and the freedom that came with it. He was a Vietnam Veteran where he served as a Staff Sergeant in the United States Army. He was a combat medic and helicopter crew chief assigned to an Aeromedical Evacuation Unit, known as "Dustoff." He was the recipient of 17 Air Medals, the National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, and the Vietnam Campaign Medal.

He was a father, a husband, a grandfather, a son, a Green Bay Packers fan, and a friend of so many. He loved to give those closest to him a hard time, but in the sincerest of ways. He loved watching his kids and grandkids sports games.

He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all that knew him.
