Have known Byron since junior high along with Myron. Byron was a very honest, giving, caring and loving man… He loved his family so very much and spoke of them often He will be missed dearly by all that knew him. Words can not begin to express the emotions that I am feeling right now. My heart goes out to his family each and everyone. My heart also breaks for my brother Donald that worshiped the ground he walked on. Never will he find a more committed and true friend as Bryon was to him. My daughter even called him uncle Byron. Keeping the whole family in my thoughts and prayers. Until we meet again Byron, rest in God’s grace and rejoice with those who went before you this holiday season. All is well with your soul. Will miss your smile, your advice and your knowledge.
Yes, momma, he was a great man. I will miss my uncle Bryon. He gave me a lot of wisdom.
So sorry for your loss, know that you and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
Good friends for many years, so many memories, especially working with him closely at the Church, to the weekend He and I went to Boulder, to the Sturgis years, you were one of my best friends, you will be missed,RIP till we meet again!
gibb came to my grandpas funreal in a full suit and i told him thank you and he said of course your grandpa was a cool dude. We will miss you gibb thanks for the smiles and laughter.
This day was one of my most best days. Bryon and my uncle Don taught me how to shoot my gun. I remember he stated he was going to take us fishing soon. I am sad that we didn’t get to make that memory. Love and prayers to the family.
Gib took me to ALL of my firsts motorcycle rallies and breakfast rides. Long time co-worker and always the leader of the back of the pack. I’ll miss your banter and wisdom. Ride On brother – “13”
Missing my dad immensely today and I want to share a special memory. He grew up across the street from WSU and when I was young we would go to my grandparents home on Hillside (it no longer exists, the city took out the entire block to widen the street) and my dad would take me to the campus to the music building and we would just walk in and he would sit down at a piano and play. As I was a kid, I don’t know if we were allowed to do that or not, but we did. He wasn’t big on “rules” lol It was a lot of fun and I was thrilled to be there with him. Occasionally after he played a while we would walk to McDonald’s and I’d get a shake and he would get an apple pie. To a little girl, it doesn’t get much better than that. He had a god given gift of music and I am honored to have been able to share in that with him. He played beautifully. These are the memories I hang on to so tight. He had a way of making you feel very special. Thanks dad! RIP and Love always. 🎹
I miss you.
Thank you for your service.
