Donald Byron Obituary

Donald Paul Byron died peacefully at his home on January 22, 2019 in Sault Ste. Marie, Ml at the age of 71. Paul was born on July 17, 1947 to William and Mary Byron who preceded him in death.
Paul graduated from Loretto Catholic High School in 1966. While attending school he played football for the Loretto Angels where he not only played football with close friends but against good friends of rival opponents.
After high school Paul took up boating and hunting, he enjoyed many years of being part of the "Pit Crew" for Team Chippewa. He also spent many hours on the ice with good friends playing for the Soo Mohawks Hockey team. All these countless hours built memories of family and friends. Those who knew Paul well would know of his endless stories and perfectionist ways. Paul loved his family unconditionally and enjoyed spending time with them.
Surviving Paul are sisters: Karen Louise (Donald) Gregg, Lori Ann (Jon) Hall; along with special nieces and nephews: Barbara Jean (Mike Green) Gregg, Matthew Byron (Lindsey) Gregg, Andrew Paul Christopher Hall, and Megan Louise Hall; and great-nephews: Chance Byron Gregg and Elliott Gary Gregg. Also surviving are many "Long Time Friends".
Funeral services for Paul will be held at St Mary's Pro Cathedral with Father Sebastian Kavumkal as celebrant on Friday February 1, 2019 at 11 a.m.
In lieu of flowers donation may be made to St Mary's Catholic School.

Loved his visits when I worked at Demolen's grocery. He'd stop in everyday after work. We always had a great time.
