William “Bill” Konkler, 50, of Three Forks passed away Sunday, September 30, 2018.  He was born April 28, 1968 in Hettinger, North Dakota to Donald and Joanne (Gunion) Konkler.

Bill enjoyed his work as a builder and business owner with many jobs around the valley, even completing construction on his home in January of this year.
