Christopher Michael

Byron

It is with deep sorrow to announce a beloved Husband, Father and Friend, Christopher Michael Byron, who went home to be with Jesus Christ on September 25, 2026, at home while in the loving arms of his loving wife Julie. He was under the care of Eden Hospice.

Over a span of two years, he battled with two kinds of cancer. He overcame his tonsil cancer but after five months, he was diagnosed with Esophageal cancer that metastasized to his liver which caused him to lose his life at the age of 62 years old.

Chris was born on December 18, 1963, in Brockton, Massachusetts to Robert Byron and Patricia Pimental Byron. He is remembered as a very passionate, generous, caring, man for his Love for God, family, friends and country. He was very patriotic, with his background of having served his country, through the military and secret intelligence service. He has taught his wife and son Matt how to handle and shoot a gun for self-defense. He always wanted to be prepared for any unexpected calamity or dangerous situations.

He was quite an adventurer and traveler. Together as a family they enjoyed visiting various places on vacations, camping, watching movies together with friends, among many other things. Chris enjoyed serving in the church and was participating with the Outwest Christian Church and was involved in the security department.

Chris is survived by his wife Julie Byron, stepson Matt Lagasca, daughter Miriam Byron, his two brothers, and a sister along with many other members, friends, brothers and sisters in Christ.

We are greatly honored and blessed for all of you who have taken the time to come celebrate with us Chris’s life, and we want to express our utmost gratitude to all who have participated in making Chris’s special event a success. God Bless you all!
