Mr. Stephen F. Byron

Stephen “Steve” Byron of Alpharetta, Georgia passed away at the age of 64 after battling cancer on February 25, 2023, surrounded by his close family. Steve was born to Ernest and Shirley Byron on January 13, 1959, in Fall River, Massachusetts. He was a beloved husband, father, son, and a friend to many. Steve was a proud alum of the University of Maryland (class of 1981) and was an entrepreneur who started three successful businesses. Outside of his business pursuits, Steve was an avid golfer, spending as much time as possible at the Atlanta Athletic Club or Watersound Club, and a passionate family man. Anyone who has spent time with the Byron family would have experienced the familial atmosphere firsthand and knew that Steve was an avid storyteller, had a great sense of humor, and was a competitive game player. Steve had a lasting influence on many people throughout his life, including his family, his close friends, and a number of people he coached through youth baseball, soccer, and basketball. His far reaching impact on people was exhibited by everyone who visited him these last couple of months or called with a story of how he had affected their lives in a positive and meaningful way. Steve was known to be someone that was always willing to put others before himself and will be remembered for his honesty, compassion, and fairness in how he treated everyone around him. Steve had a strong Catholic faith and was active in the Catholic community through various church activities and charitable programs. His faith remained steadfast during his battle with cancer and allowed him to stay strong in his belief of eternal life. Steve is survived by his wife Julie, his three children Chris, Stephanie and Niko, and his two dogs Kirby and Pippa. He is also survived by his parents, Ernest and Shirley, and sister, Linda Riggs (Jim). Steve’s family will host his funeral service on Saturday, March 4, 2023 at 11:30 am. The service will be held at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Alpharetta, Georgia. Following the funeral service, his family will host a celebration of life at The Hotel at Avalon at 1:30 pm.
