Jonathan Micheal Byrne

Jonathan Micheal Byrne of Burke VA was called home to the house of the Lord on September 28, 2022, age 37.

Jonathan was born August 14, 1985 in State College, PA and was preceded in death by his father Jonathan Coleman Byrne of State College PA. May they now continue that great Chess Game in the Sky. In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents, Uncles Charles Beard, Arthur Beard, Edward Beard, Aunt Nancy Beard and Cousin Christine Gibbs (Beard). He is survived by his mother Anna Beard of Burke VA and his beloved sister Amber Beard of Burke VA. In addition to his mother and sister, Jonathan has left behind his beautiful and loving companion Emily Natsios, his uncles Chris Byrne, Tim Griffin, Jeffry Joseph and Tom Beard: Aunts Caryl Byrne, Cheryl Beard and Wendy Taylor along with many cousins, family members, cherished friends too numerous to list and last but not least - his faithful and fierce dog Artemis.

Jonathan had a kind and caring soul with a rare smile that charmed many and had a way of making everyone he met feel special and loved. He was an honorable and noble man with a very quiet and gentle spirit yet fierce in his generosity and compassion. Loyal to his friends and family to the end --protecting them from sadness and pain as long as he could. Although he has left us too soon with many hearts broken, he would want us to remember him fondly with a smile and not tears. We will all see him again and he will live on in the hearts and lives that he has touched. Honor him by treating others with patience, forgiveness and kindness.

For those who would like to say a final farewell to Jonathan, there will be a viewing on Friday October 14th from 3:00-7:00pm at 4425 Brookfield Corporation Drive, Suite 100, Chantilly, VA 20151; and a celebration of life in Pennsylvania on Saturday November 5th from 4pm till Dawn at Aikens Cabins (Cabin #5) located at 400 Bear Meadows Rd, Boalsburg, PA 16827. All are welcome.
