Throughout his life, Byron was an avid fisherman, fly tyer, golfer, and hunter. He enjoyed the outdoors and lent his time to the Jefferson Watershed Council and Trout Unlimited. Byron worked at Montana Power Company where he "enjoyed helping people through trying times." After retirement from the Power Company, Byron worked at the Highland View Golf Course. He was also an active member of St. Ann's Parish and Cursillo.
Byron is survived by his wife of fifty-four years, Sue; his brother David; his sisters Sonia and Nancy; his daughters and sons-in-law Denise & Jerry Jordan and Colleen & Chris McCowan; his grandchildren Rachael, Andrew, Ian & Shaina Jordan and Emmett & Carter McCowan; and his great-grandchildren Payne, Bailee, Evangeline, Kaelin, and Charles. He is also survived by his sisters- and brothers-in-law Skoge & Patty Mazurek; Dan, Paul, and Mary Gorie; and Annie and Jim Martin, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Byron & Jane; his bonus father Tom; his brothers Joe, Charles, and Bill; and his nephew Dillon.
