Peyton Bilbia, Milford, Michigan – It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the tragic passing of Peyton Michael Bilbia, who was taken from us far too soon at the age of 26 on December 31, 2025. Peyton’s death has left an irreplaceable void in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know his kind, compassionate, and generous spirit. His sudden passing has shocked and devastated those closest to him, and the pain of his loss is felt deeply across the Milford and Grand Blanc communities. His memory will live on, not only in the love he gave but also in the joy and warmth he shared with everyone he met.
Peyton was born on March 7, 1999, in Pontiac, Michigan, to Mathew and Abbie Bilbia. He grew up in Grand Blanc and graduated from Holly High School in 2017 before continuing his education at The University of Michigan Flint. More recently, Peyton had made his home in Milford and was working for D.E. McNabb Flooring in New Hudson. He was a young man with boundless energy, passion, and a warm heart. Peyton was known for his love of working out, riding mountain bikes, and enjoying movies and music. He was a devoted fan of the University of Michigan football team, often showing his team spirit with pride. Peyton’s love for his dogs and deep devotion to his family reflected the caring and compassionate nature that made him so special to all who knew him.
In addition to his personal interests, Peyton had a remarkable ability to make others feel valued and appreciated. Whether it was a warm smile, a kind word, or simply offering support, Peyton had a way of lifting up those around him. His laughter and easy-going nature brought light into any room, and his genuine spirit will forever be remembered. He leaves behind a loving family that will cherish his memory forever: his parents, Mathew and Abbie Bilbia of Grand Blanc; his sisters, Makayla Bilbia of Grand Rapids and Ella Bilbia of Grand Blanc; his grandparents, Craig and Deborah Lahr of Waterford and Karen and Kevin Kasper of Albion; his uncles, Kevin (Randielle) Bilbia of Bruce Township and Scott Lahr of Waterford; his aunt, April Lahr of Milford; and numerous cousins. Peyton was preceded in death by his grandfather, Craig Bilbia, who no doubt welcomed him with open arms.
