Billy was born September 16, 1961 in Lordsburg to William and Sandra (Palacios) Burt. His family lived in Luna County for a while and Billy graduated from Deming High School in 1981. Shortly thereafter he moved to Lordsburg where he worked in several restaurants as either a bartender or waiter. He was a member of the Optimist Club and the Lordsburg Elks Lodge.
