Dear Byron,
Just today I learned of your passing. I am deeply saddened.
Thank you for the adventure and joy you brought into my life. Thank you for letting me into yours at such an impressionable time for both of us as teenagers. Thank you for taking me into your home, to met your family, your friends, to the beach, to Maryland and to NYC. You taught me how to drive a stick on the highway! You shared with everyone you met your exuberance and love of life. Thank you for being my friend. I will never forget you and the brief, young years we were able to share.
Rest in Peace, Love, Light and Glory.
Meredith Flood

Dear Joyce,
I just received your card today December 21,2017 with the sad news of your son Byron's passing.
My heart is broken for you. You know I loved your son and I felt devastated. It brought back so many memories. I am to overwhelmed with sadness to write more. I know Byron believed in God. If he could wish you anything it would be "Mom don't cry I am in a better place". You had a beautiful, caring, loving, wonderful, and talented son whom I had the pleasure to know. Take care of yourself that is what Byron would want. I will be in touch with you soon. That is all I have to say for now. Your friend, Tanny

I was so impressed with the many artistic talents that you possessed. You will be greatly missed. Taken from this world way too soon. You will be forever loved by the ones you touched with your beautiful personality. I am very saddened to think that I will not see you again. Until we meet again "Tink" Love Ant Joan. Fly High Byron, RIP Joyce I pray for you that somehow someway you can find some comfort. Know that he was loved by so many. God Bless you, Aunt Joan.

Family & friends,
I did not know Byron but I was hoping to share some words of comfort. It's never easy to lose someone you love. God promises us that we will see our loved ones again in the very near future. Take comfort in knowing that you will see Byron again as well. Until then may your hearts be filled with the wonderful memories of joyful times spent together as you celebrate a life well lived. Please accept my condolences.

Byron, I used to know you only for a very brief few months before so sadly learning that you had just crossed over. I will miss you and I will always remember you as very exhuberantly outgoing for making new friends. Surely you will find many on the other side.

Byron,
From the day you walked into my cafe with your Mom we all became friends. I felt like I had known you much longer then I did. Your energy and love of life always brought great vibes when you walked into the room. We did so much together in such a short time. Thank you for introducing me to so many wonderful peoples, and showing me all the amazing sculptures your Dad had done. Your words of kindness and wisdom were inspirational. You had so many plans to do such great things. I was looking forward to our sculpting/casting classes. Heartbroken to have lost such a talented, caring, loving friend.
Byron, We will miss your presence, but always feel your touch.

From your birth to your passing, and everything in between; know that throughout your life I never stopped loving you ..
To say that I shall miss you, would be an understatement.
~With all of my heart, your Uncle Buddy

1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
