William E. Brothers III

DAVIDSVILLE — BROTHERS – William E. III “Billy,” 18, Davidsville, went to be with his Lord and Savior Feb. 26, 2013. He was born Oct. 9, 1994, in Johnstown, son of William E. Jr. and Georgia L. (Clark) Brothers, Davidsville. Preceded in death by his great-grandparents and stepgrandfather. In addition to his parents, he is survived by his loving “peanut” and very special friend, Ashley Jeffries, Riverside; sister, Shantelle R., wife of Michael Jurich, Bellevue, Neb.; nephew, Colton M. Jurich, Bellevue, Neb.; maternal grandfather, Louis (Margaret “Peg”) Clark, Windber; maternal grandmother, Geraldine “Jeri”  Rummel, Johnstown; paternal grandparents, William “Pap” Sr. and Rose “Nan”  Brothers, East Taylor Township; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Billy was employed by Pennline Services, where he enjoyed working with his dad, minus getting up at 5 a.m. He loved riding motorcycles, fishing, hunting, music and cars to say the least. Billy was the most tender hearted, fun loving person and had the most wonderful sense of humor. He loved playing jokes, especially on his mom and dad. Billy also was looking forward to becoming a father and loved being an uncle. He will be remembered with the most wonderful memories that anyone could ask for. Billy lived life to its fullest and will be “Forever Young.” Friends will be received from 2 to 8 p.m. Thursday and from 9 a.m. until time of service at 10 a.m. Friday at Baker-Harris Funeral Chapel, Conemaugh, Pastor Raymond Grumbling, officiating. Interment, Forest Lawn Memorial Park. The family suggests contributions be directed to Bill and Georgia Brothers to be set up in a trust for his loving “Peanut.” Online condolences may be posted to www.wharrisfuneralhome.com.
