He was described as the heart and soul of the wolfpack. The late parent’s legacy would be honored by his large family, who will continue with his dream, according to the Sunday at 8 p.m. ET episode.

Billy was the father to daughters Rain and Snowbird and sons Bear, Matt, Bam Bam, Gabe, and Noah. In the memorial clip, Bear said he’d miss the time he had with his father.
