John Byard Mowell Jr.

I lived with Byard in 1991 -1992 We lived at 1313 A1A in Ponte Vedra and at the beach condo on Atlantic Beach. Wallstreet his African ridge back is a happy memory. He was so much fun to play with on the beach. I loved Byard and am sad to hear of his death. He will forever own a piece of my heart. May he rest in peace.

I know its been a year or more since Byard's death, however I just found out and we were friends in scouts. Troop 115 was a good thing in my life and Byard was a large good part of that experience. I have thought of him a lot over the years and wondered about his life and what had he become. Now I am greatly saddened by the news he has passed way too early. But I am sure that he is doing well in the house of the lord and know he was a scout at heart and must have lived a very impressive life.

Jack and Family,
I just learned of Byard's passing - he was such a good friend to me, no matter where I lived.
I will greatly miss him.

Dearest Byard
I am so devestated to have lost you in my life. You were a sparkling candle in the darkness. Please know how much you were loved by your little band of Seaside Warriors. The heartfelt times together were precious and you were an integral part. Miss you and love you. Play on you shredding rock n roll guitar man and know how much you helped all those whose lives you touched.

I am so saddened by the news of Byards passing. He was such a good friend to me. I'm not surprised to learn he enjoyed cooking and made awesome meals. I still remember going to his parents house in Tallahassee where his mom would be cooking in the kitchen. He would make the most mouth watering facial expressions at the thought of enjoying the meals she would be cooking. I still remember his ear to ear smiles which would light up any room. He was also very patient and kind enough to try...

I spent time with Byard in the days before his passing. I tried to reach him but no reply came back. I so looked forward to enjoying his friendship and unique character. I was trying to help him during his transition out of the 1st Street Condo. He wanted to rent my place but it was already spoken for.He was so appreciative and even said"I love you man"! I have some Pictures of Chelsea Guitar with a print featuring a rad guitar and a sign that reads "Liberty Ave." If there's a Rock n'...

I too played guitar with Byard for several years. He was an amazing guitarist with a good ear for music. My heart goes out to his family and friends and I hope his is in a better place.
