Obituary for the Byrd Family

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the tragic loss of the Byrd family—James, his wife, Maria, and their young daughter, Emily—who perished in a devastating house fire on March 21, 2025. The fire, which engulfed their home in the early hours of the morning, has left a deep void in the hearts of all who knew them.

James, 38, a devoted father and loving husband, was known for his kindness and unwavering support for his community. Maria, 36, a gentle and caring soul, dedicated much of her life to volunteering and raising her family with love and warmth. Emily, 8, a bright and joyful child, brought laughter and happiness wherever she went, lighting up the lives of everyone around her.

The Byrd family will be remembered for their deep love for one another, their generosity, and their infectious laughter. They leave behind countless cherished memories and a legacy of kindness, love, and service to others.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Autism speaks.

They will be missed deeply, but never forgotten. May they rest in peace.
