Byron "BB" Combs, of Riverside, Ohio, was born on May 20, 1957, and passed away peacefully on March 8, 2025. BB was well-known for his hard-working nature and his cheerful disposition, always greeting everyone with a smile. He found joy in the simple pleasures of life, particularly in spending quality time with his family and enjoying his favorite television shows, especially Westerns. BB had a passion for fishing and cooking. When he felt good, he loved walking his beloved dogs, Tank and Precious.
BB was a devoted family man who shared 20 wonderful years of marriage with his wife, LaRonda. Together, they raised a loving family that includes their children: Brittany, Stephanie, Timmy, James Robert, Justin (Kayla), and Jessica. His legacy continues through his grandchildren: McKenzie, Bryson, Preslee, A'bella, Araelyn, Tyler, and Clayton, each of whom brought immense joy to his life.
BB's connections extended to his siblings as well. He is survived by his brothers, Charles "Bud" (Sharon) and Kent (Lisa), and his sister-in-law, Alice. Though he goes on to the next chapter of life, he will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
BB was preceded in death by his son, Bradly; his parents, Charles and Rita; his sister, Peggy; and his brothers, Tyrone, Jerome, and Michael. He leaves behind a rich tapestry of memories that will be cherished by his surviving family and friends.
