Byron was kind & brave enough to marry my husband & me in an Episcopal ceremony at my home church - calder baptist here in Beaumont. we were married only 3 short yrs. before my husband (the rev. don Sheffield passed away), but I will always be grateful that Byron willingly took on that challenge. I will miss his quietness & gentleness & wonderful sense of the absurd. nancy sheffield

A lovely man. He was a pastor in every sense of the word and was beloved by anyone who knew him. He touched countless lives and he brought joy and comfort to anyone who was suffering. The world has lost one of its finest.
