RONALD ANDREW BYRUM I
Loved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend passed this 29th day of June, 2007. He is with our loving Father in Heaven getting answers he so desperately sought here on Earth. His life was full, his stories plentiful and animated, told and retold by family, loved ones and friends spanning the globe. Always quick with original corny jokes (that you can’t help but laugh at, even cracking up himself!), and always ready for an in depth discussion about God. His biggest fear was not knowing who God was when he saw Him. This fear drove him to seek Him out and to know who God really is. Those of us in his life know this fear was unfounded in his case and pray that all who knew him carry that fear as well. Please pray with us, “Lord, we thank you for bringing your servant to us and letting us share in his life. Please help us to remember these special moments we carry in our thoughts and hearts and may they spur us into actively seeking your precious face. Amen.”

The following quotes hold special meaning to those who love him;

“You are the Wind Beneath My Wings”

““We may cry tears of sorrow and selfish wishes but our hearts rejoice in the knowing of his happiness to be with God our Father. Dance and rejoice in Him, we eagerly await our reunion in heaven!”

“I will love you until the 12th of never, and that’s a long, long time.”

Funeral services with military honors will be held 1 PM Thursday at Crosby & Neal, 117 Main Street, Newport, with Pastor George Finnemore officiating. Donations in his memory may be made to Thru The Bible, 4201 North Peachtree Road, Atlanta, GA 30341.
