Today we reflected on the life of Byron. He was a loving, caring and jovial person. He had a personality of telling jokes and making you laugh until your stomach hurt. He is always a ray of sunshine in every room and life at any party.

Byron had a passion for music, the sport cricket, and cooking. Spending time with family was the center of his life. He is known to have a big heart and could easily get emotional.

Byron will be remembered for his charming smile and his sleek dressing. Also his sportsmanship, being a #1 fast left-hand bowler. He was a masterpiece at cooking delicious meals.

He is survived by mother Carmen, daughter Christina, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, sisters and brothers-in-law, grandnieces and nephews, cousins, and friends.

Gone but not forgotten. May his soul rest in peace.
