Robert Oscar Byrum Jr.

Rob Byrum, 66, of the Steele Creek community in Charlotte, passed away Thursday, August 27, 2015. His loving wife Sandy and family were by his side. Rob graduated from Olympic High School in 1967, served in the US Navy on the USS Forrestal, worked as a Charlotte-Mecklenburg County Policeman, began his own woodworking company, and continued a lifetime of building beautiful woodwork.
