Obituary: Billy Boyd Fordham

Billy Boyd Fordham "ARG" 1953 ~ 2005 After enduring his physical battle, he is now enjoying his Heavenly reward. His heroic life ended on February 10, 2005. He was born in Tooele, Utah on March 19, 1953 to Seth Taft Fordham and Dollie Cecelia Beacham. He was the third of nine children. He learned the value of hard work as a young man, a trait which he possessed throughout his life. He worked vigorously to provide for his family, instilling that same value in each of his children. Billy was a master carpenter and a truck driver, but his true passion was cabinetry. He leaves behind tokens of his craftsmanship to his family. They will be treasured heirlooms forever. He married his first and only true love, Beverly Cuff on June 28, 1974. They were joined together for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple. In the years to follow, they were blessed with seven children. His life was spent in service to others. He was known to share everything he had, even down to his last penny. He was a devoted husband and father, who taught us all to love without limits, give of yourself, never give up, and to love each other as our Savior and Heavenly Father loves us.
