Byron was a loving father and husband. He was a devoted family man and is loved and admired by family and friends. He was the life of the party and the heart of his family. Byron was a goofy guy that could make you laugh on your worst days. He enjoyed working with his hands, a joy he found at an early age helping is father on projects.
