I’m terribly sorry to hear about the passing of Byron. We met working at U-Haul and would take walks together during our breaks. When he moved he always kept in touch and we’d have great conversations about dogs and life. I will miss him dearly. My condolences to family and friends. 

Dear Byron, 
We’ve shared many great moments and time together.  Growing up us nieces and nephews saw you as our “Uncle  Buck”  (Or at least I did) the uncle who had no kids but loved us all and had fun with us when our parents were away.  You brought the kids out in us when you weren’t and we needed to be.  Many nights we would stay up late and talk on the phone, sometimes you confiding me other nights me confiding in you.  I’m at ease and honored that you reached out to me on many occasions.  I knew anytime I needed a person to talk to I could call you.  You never judged me, you listened and tried to help me through and always gave me a follow up call a few days later, to make sure I was doing ok.  I will never forget the day I called to tell you I was moving to Prescott,  you were the MOST excited, supportive, happy and proud for me.  I know Prescott was a happy place for you, so living here gives me great comfort that you are with me in my heart always and forever. I wish I could still call you, I miss our conversations but I know being where I am you are with me always and forever.  That being said.....rest well my uncle, you will be forever loved and missed by many specially me.  I Love You Uncle Byron.(Uncle Buck) Thank you for your love and kindness.  I will forever love you.  
Love, 
Carrie Ann McDonald (Gilliland) 
Until we meet again.  

lots of memories, cousin.RIP. Thoughts and prayers to all of you.
