Billy Moon was a 21-year member of the FDNY, as well as a 28-year volunteer in the Islip Fire Department, serving as Chief of Department from 2016-2018. He began his career in L133 in South Jamaica Queens where he spent almost 20 years before transferring to Rescue 2 in Brooklyn. He always said he never worked a day in his life because he was a part of the greatest job in the world.

William “Billy” Moon II, 47 was a friend and mentor to everyone. Known for his big personality, huge smile, and love for the job, Billy was also a devoted husband and father of two.

After suffering a fatal fall in the firehouse on December 12, 2022, Billy answered his last alarm on December 20, 2022 with the gift of organ donation, a topic he felt strongly about. He saved the lives of five others, including two fellow firefighters.

The Billy Moon Foundation was created to honor this final act of selflessness. Billy’s wife, Kristina Moon, continues to commemorate his legacy, advocate for and build awareness around organ donation, support those in the process, and pay it forward to their communities.
