It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of Billy Stracke, who passed away on Wednesday, October 8th, 2025 in Glenside, Pennsylvania. He was born on September,10 1981 and lived in Florida most of his life.

Remaining to cherish his memory are his father: Russell Stracke; his mother Ilona Stracke; his maternal grandmother and his sister Kasie Schmid along with her husband and 3 sons. He is also survived by a large extended family. As well as a prodigious group of friends who would describe themselves more akin to family.

Billy enjoyed camping, hiking, and playing beach volleyball with his Tiki Tribe. Loved ones would describe him as a free spirit who was full of joy and positivity.

A celebration of life remembrance will be held in the coming weeks in Florida. We expect many family and friends to be in attendance to celebrate the glorious life of a soul that touched so many and will never be forgotten.  Please check back for an update on the date.
