William E. Robinson

William E. "Willy" "Billy" Robinson, 37, of Belchertown, passed away unexpectedly on September 10, 2026, following a motorcycle accident in Granby, Massachusetts.

Born on January 17th, 1989, Billy was raised in Chicopee and South Hadley and graduated from South Hadley High School in 2007. About a year and a half ago, he made his home in Belchertown, where he continued building a life centered on family, friends, and hard work. Throughout his life, Billy was deeply devoted to those he loved, especially his family.

Billy was a true jack of all trades. He was a hard worker and took pride in working with his hands. Over the years, he worked at Veryl’s Automotive in South Hadley, then started B&K Maintenance and Construction where he worked with Saltmarsh Construction and Electrical. No matter the project, Billy approached it with determination, skill, and a willingness to help others.

Affectionately known as "The Mayor" and the "Best Uncle," Billy never met a stranger. He loved being the center of attention and had a unique gift for making people feel welcomed and valued. He was the kind of person who would call family and friends simply to say hello, check in, or remind them that he loved them. His outgoing personality, generous heart, and genuine interest in others earned him countless friendships wherever he went. His hugs will be remembered for generations to come.

Billy loved staying active, he was always on the go. Happiest traveling in his big White Ford F-350 Power Stroke Turbo Diesel Super Duty Truck. No matter the time or place Billy was always up for an adventure. Billy spent the majority of his time outdoors golfing, camping, boating, and grilling for others. Billy loved to entertain everyone, notorious for being the first and last person out on the dance floor. Billy was an avid New England Sports Fan, he was known to servers and bartenders across the country and loved his Sunday funday dinners. He was everyone’s emergency contact and always put others before himself. His generosity will be remembered by all who knew him. Billy truly lived his life to the fullest, his electrifying personality will be missed dearly.

Above all else, Billy's greatest joy was being a father. His children were the center of his world, and he never missed an opportunity to support them. No matter the event, Billy was everyone’s biggest cheerleader. His love, encouragement, and devotion to his children will remain with them forever.

Billy leaves his loving mother, Suzanne Besner and her husband, Bill, of South Hadley; his father, Earl W. Renaud of Chicopee; his fiancée, Krystal Morace and his cherished children, Noah Robinson, Landon Johnson, Arianna Robinson and his two dogs Otis and Ford.

He leaves his stepbrothers, William Besner II of South Hadley, Stephen Besner of East Longmeadow, Matthew Besner of Springfield, and Jason Besner of South Hadley along with their families. He will also be greatly missed by the Morace and Spadoni families.
