LOUIS McCOMAS BYRON
Returned home after a long and rich life on Tuesday, November 30, 2011 at Tucson Medical Center in Tucson, AZ. He had retired with his beloved wife Linda to Tucson after having lived in Washington, D.C. for his entire life. He was born in 1938 in Williamsport, MD to Katherine and William Byron. His father was a representative in U.S. Congress for the 6th District of the State of Maryland, and his great-grandfather was a U.S. Senator from Maryland. A successful businessman who ran three family businesses, which at one time employed over 600 people, he was also very committed to philanthropic work in the D.C. area. He served on the boards of Children's Hospital, WETA (public television), and several educational institutions for many years. He was also on the board of the Washington National Cathedral Fund. The Cathedral always inspired him and held a special spiritual place in his heart. He was a gentle, yet commanding, soul who believed in treating all with kindness and respect. He instilled in all those around him a sense of responsibility to take care of those less fortunate than ourselves. He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Linda; his three sons, Louis Jr., Thomas, and Scott; his daughter-in-law, Bridget; and his three grandchildren, Madison, Brayden, and McKenzie. Funeral services will be held Monday, December 5, 2011 in Tucson, AZ. In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions to the Washington National Cathedral, ATTN: Development Office, 3101 Wisconsin Ave., NW, Washington, D.C., 20016-5098. Arrangements by BRING'S BROADWAY CHAPEL, Tucson, AZ, (520)296-7193.
