He lived in Devils Lake, ND, until 3rd grade and began his wrestling journey. He then moved with his family to Bismarck in 2002 and continued to succeed in wrestling where he was a three time Triple Crown champion. He graduated high school with highest distinction in 2011. He recently worked for his brother Brenton's construction company and Paradiso Restaurant. On his free time, when he wasn't spending time with his son, Easton, he loved going to the gym with his cousin, David. He also loved listening to music, watching football games with his family, and playing softball and frolf. In Bill's heart and soul, his greatest accomplishment was being the best father he could be to Easton Tayler Pace. He poured his heart into everything he did and everyone he met. His smile was bright and his laugh was contagious. Bill had a way to make everyone around him laugh, whether it was with him or at him! He touched so many lives in so many ways. No words can describe how much he will be missed. His memories will live on forever. Those survived by Bill, the Loves of his life, his son, Easton; the mother of his son and girlfriend, Mataia; his parents, Scott and Joy; his brothers, Brenton (Amber) and Ben; his sisters, KayDee (Levi), Cassy (Kris), and Kitlynn; and several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. He is preceded in death by his Granny and Grandpa Olsen; Grandpa Pace; and friends, Andreas Nickelson and Tayler Fladeland.
