Rusty Byrd Obituary
Rusty worked for the city of Williston for 22 years. His favorite place to work was the Williston Airport, where he met many new friends. Rusty was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone. He was a hard worker and loved to laugh. His interests included fishing, rodeo and spending time outdoors.
He is survived by his parents, Cal and Laura Byrd; two brothers, Ronnie and Stephen (Katie) Byrd; sister, Jennifer (Bill) Jones and his grandmother, Helen Ruth Cook. He also had a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his brother, Michael R. Byrd; grandparents, Horace and Oneida Douglas and Howard Cook and by two cousins, Daniel Cook and Pewee Mercer.
Rusty's memorial service will be at 5 p.m. Monday, Oct. 7 at the Living Hope Church, 9353 U.S. 27, Bronson. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the children's ministry at the church.
