Dan Byrd Obituary
June 13, 1934 - June 30, 2025
Dan Byrd Jr., of Corvallis Oregon, passed away peacefully on June 30th, 2025 surrounded by loved ones, at the age of 91. Born June 13th, 1934, in Ovette, Mississippi, Dan was the son of Dan George and Mary Edna (Dean) Byrd. He called Oregon home since 1940 and served in both the United States Air Force and the Navy. An avid Beaver's fan, Dan enjoyed a long and fulfilling career with the Oregon State University's athletic department. He loved baseball, gardening, good music, photography, animals (especially dogs), the outdoors, and his family. His generosity, charm, and quickwitted sense of humor were just a few of the wonderful traits he was known for. Dan is survived by his son, Guy, granddaughter, Leahana, and great grandsons, Aidan and Everett. All of whom he had a tremendous impact on. He was deeply loved, and will remain on our minds and in our hearts. Last goodbyes are welcome at Dan's viewing, to be held between 2 and 4pm, on Thursday, July 10th, at McHenry Funeral Home in Corvallis, Oregon. The sharing of memories and photos on his memorial page is encouraged and would be greatly appreciated: https://www.mchenryfuneralhome.com/obituaries/dan-byrd-2/#!/Obituary In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to OSU's Shelter Medicine Club of the Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine. "Woop woop!"

I did not know Dan but many years ago I had the pleasure of befriending Guy and his mother Bev. I am sorry for their loss.
