William "Billy" Edward Stirling, 55, of Coppell, TX, passed away on January 22, 2026.

"Some of it's magic, some of it's tragic, but I had a good life all the way."

– Jimmy Buffett

A devoted husband, loyal son, brother, and uncle, Billy was known for his boundless heart, unwavering love for his family, and his unmatched passion for life. A true "Parrot head," Billy lived by the easygoing, joyful spirit of Jimmy Buffett's music. He was also a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan—never missing a game—and an avid golfer who found peace and purpose on the green.

Billy's love ran deepest for his beloved wife, Sondra Stirling, and their dogs, with whom he shared endless adventures and quiet, cherished moments. His humor, warmth, and generosity touched everyone lucky enough to know him.

He is survived by his loving mother, Alice Stirling; his brother Rob Stirling Jr.; niece Kylie Stirling; nieces Gabrielle and Juliette Groves; nephews AJ Sparanga, Robbie Stirling, Rhett and Wade Frey.

He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Stirling, Sr., in 2019.

Billy leaves behind a legacy of laughter, music, loyalty, long drives—on the road and on the fairway—and love. He will be dearly missed.
