Byron "BP" Paul Gunter, 37, of Gilbert, SC, passed away on Thursday, October 23, 2025. Born on July 22, 1988, in Lexington, SC, Byron's passion for the outdoors was evident in every aspect of his life. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, with a deep appreciation for nature. He found joy in horseback riding and exploring the wild expanses that South Carolina has to offer. His dedication to nature extended to his professional life as well, where he made his mark working at BP's Outdoor and Landscaping.

Surviving are his father, Byron Gunter, his devoted stepfather, David Gunter, and his dear sisters, Deana Cartagena (Ivan) and Nikki Smith (Eugene); grandmother, Glenda Gunter; and special friend, Vicky Gunter, who held a significant place in his heart. In addition to his mother, Paula Dean Gunter, Byron was preceded in death by his brother, David Gunter; grandparents, Paul and Ethel Cannon, Arthur and Vivian Gunter, and Sue Shealy and Ezzlle Gunter.

The visitation to honor Byron's life will be held on Thursday, October 30th, from 5 until 7 o'clock PM at Milton Shealy Funeral Home.

Byron Paul Gunter will be remembered for his adventurous spirit, his love for family and friends, and his unwavering passion for the outdoors. He leaves behind a legacy of cherished memories and a community that will forever miss his warmth and infectious enthusiasm for life.
