Lots of memories as kids. You always had a good sense of humor.

My condolences to all of his loved ones. He was a colleague of mine and although I didn’t know him, its always hard to look someone from the team. Rest in eternal peace and may God be with your family.
You will be missed friend. I appreciated your straightforward dry humor and adored the way you spoke of your wife Melissa, your momma, your kids and grandkids. You had a great soul that will live on through memories. Thank you for becoming a genuine friend all those years ago. Sending lots of love to Melissa in this difficult time
Melissa, My deepest condolences to you and all of Bryon’s family. Bryon was a wonderful guy and a great asset to our neighborhood. I will also remember with joy he’s attempts to get Rosie to walk gently on the leash. Rosie definitely won that battle. May God be with you during this time. Rest in peace.
My condolences to Melissa and Byron’s family. It’s always especially hard when someone we love is unexpectedly called home to be with the Lord. May God lessen the loss each day and fill your family with greater peace in its place. He was a wonderful neighbor and friend and will be missed!
I will always remember the fun we had at the Ranch with family and friends ! Nothing but love for you and your family! You will be missed brother ! Love Logan Thrower
My thoughts and prayers are with Melissa and family during this difficult time.
Melissa, our thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. May God comfort you through all the cherished good memories and love and laughter. My boys and I will never forget our visit to your home to visit Rosie, which turned into a visit to the Aquarium “at Byron’s recommendation.” He was incredible kind and great with my boys who were 9yrs old at the time. He taught them how to feed the stingrays 🙂 we all had some great “belly laughs” and of course when we all went to lunch…. he absolutely would NOT allow us to pay for our meal. He is an incredibly kind soul and will be dearly missed by anyone who has been touched by his kindness!
I am so sorry for your loss, Melissa. My heartfelt condolences to you & your family for the loss of your dear husband. Let the love and support of those around you lift you in your time of need. I am praying for you in this most difficult time.
I am very sorry for your loss. May God be with you and your family to sustain you through this most difficult moment.
I am so sorry for your loss Melissa. Please know that I am praying for peace and comfort for you and your family during this difficult time.
Melissa, I just found out about Bryon’s passing. Please accept my condolences and know that I am thinking about you and your family during this difficult time.
Byron…my friend of many years! I will deeply miss our random talks, meals together, and your general since of humor and outlook on life. I will cherish our conversations for ever more…Even now, I have been looking back on these and laughter feels my heart. I love you man and you will be deeply missed here, but your journey has just begun. Enjoy, God Bless, and travel well. I look forward to when we meet again…you “ole buzzard”.
Byron, this news hit me like a ton of bricks. I’m not sure it will ever fully sink in. I’ll forever remember our jokes about the Midwest during all of our damage inspections at McNeese over these past 3 years. Thanks for all of your kindness and assistance over the past few years. You will forever be missed, but never forgotten.
