William Patrick Ornick, III, 31, of Maumelle, Arkansas, was granted his heavenly angel wings on Thursday, July 5, 2012 at 6:06 p.m., at Rex Hospital in Raleigh, North Carolina. He was affectionately known as "Billy." Billy was born December 17, 1980 to Kenneth and Teresita Ornick in Kansas City, Missouri. Billy's life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by him understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. His persona and the warmth of his heart brought so much joy to his friends and family. He was a true inspiration, and he loved traveling, music, watching DVDs and being around people, and enjoyed his mama's cooking. He was preceded in death by his father, maternal grandmother, grandfathers, two aunts and three uncles. He truly was an angel, sent here to show us how to love everyone and teach us to be better people. We thank God for the privilege of caring, loving and knowing Billy. He graduated from East Union High School in Manteca, California in June 1999. He will be eternally missed by his loving mother, Teresita Ornick, and devoted sister, Misty Ornick Davis of Maumelle, Arkansas, and paternal grandmother, Nancy Rickards Ornick of Raleigh, North Carolina, and a host of relatives and friends. Visitation will be held 6 p.m. until 8 p.m., Friday, July 13, 2012, at Roller-Chenal Funeral Home, (501) 224-8300, with a Rosary at 7 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be held 1 p.m., Saturday, July 14, 2012, at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church, 7006 Jasna Gora Drive, North Little Rock, Arkansas. Burial will follow at Riverwood Memorial Gardens in Maumelle, Arkansas. Online guestbook: www.rollerfuneralhomes.com/chenal.
