WHEREAS, All who shared in the life of Gregory Raymond Byrne | ||
of Dallas were deeply saddened by his passing on October 1, 2023, at | ||
the age of 68; and | ||
WHEREAS, Born in Hamilton, Ohio, on July 9, 1955, Greg Byrne | ||
was the son of Raymond and Melba Byrne; he graduated from Badin High | ||
School in 1973 and subsequently began studies at Cincinnati | ||
Technical College; when his father fell ill, he went to work | ||
full-time and helped take care of his family; and | ||
WHEREAS, Over the course of a varied career, Mr. Byrne was | ||
employed with a car dealership in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, before | ||
owning and operating a repo business for a number of years; he then | ||
worked on a horse ranch in Colorado until returning home to care for | ||
his mother; following her passing, he relocated to New Orleans and | ||
found work as a bouncer on Bourbon Street; several years later, he | ||
moved to North Texas and was hired as a park ranger with the City of | ||
Dallas, a position he held until his retirement in 2016; along the | ||
way, he served as a Dallas County election clerk for many years and | ||
went on to become an election judge; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Byrne met his wife, Juliana, in 2007; they | ||
shared a rewarding relationship that spanned 16 years, and he had | ||
the pleasure of welcoming into his family a stepson, Alberto; in his | ||
leisure time, he was an avid sports fan and rooted for the | ||
University of Notre Dame and Cincinnati Bengals football teams; a | ||
man of faith, he held a number of leadership positions at his | ||
church, and he performed mission work in Honduras for several | ||
summers; and | ||
WHEREAS, Although Greg Byrne is greatly missed, he has left | ||
his loved ones with a wealth of memories that they will forever | ||
cherish; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature, 4th | ||
Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of Gregory Raymond | ||
Byrne and extend sincere sympathy to the members of his family: to | ||
his wife, Juliana Martinez; to his stepson, Alberto Martinez, and | ||
his fiancée, Rose; and to his other relatives and friends; and, be | ||
it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for his family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns this | ||
day, it do so in memory of Greg Byrne. |
