Wayne BYRON Obituary
April 7, 1948 - June 14, 2014
After a long struggle with cancer it is with great sadness that the family of Wayne Byron announce his passing on Saturday, June 14, 2014 at the age of 66 years. Wayne had an incredible sense of humour which made everyone laugh that crossed his path. He was a fun loving, devoted father who enjoyed vacationing with his kids. Wayne (Smokey) was employed with Air Canada for 34 years and was very well liked by all who knew him. Wayne will be forever missed by his family; loving wife, Barbara Hagan; son, Jason Byron; daughter, Lisa Byron (Shawn); granddaughter, Sierra; stepson, Lee Hagan; brothers, Ervin Byron (Ursula), Lloyd Byron, Verne Byron (Vicky); sisters, Eleanor Berladyn (Ike), Lorraine Boszak (Ted), as well as nieces, nephews and cousins. He was predeceased by his father, Victor; mother, Marian and infant brother, Edward. We are all very grateful to Barb for her devotion and care for Wayne. Following his wishes no formal Service will be held. Messages of condolence may be left for the family at www.myalternatives.ca.

Dear Lisa and Jason
Deepest sympathy on the loss of your dad. Many of my happiest childhood memories were coming to visit your family in Calgary. Uncle Wayne always had a special place in my heart. He was always kind and had a wonderful sense of humour. Take care,
