Dear Family, Friends, and Community,

It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden passing of our beloved mother, Tina M. Byron, who has gone home to be with God. After suffering two heart attacks, her heart could no longer endure the stress. Though we are devastated, we find comfort in knowing she is now at peace.

If you knew Tina, you know she was truly one of a kind—the life of the party, full of love, laughter, and light. She had a rare gift for making everyone feel seen, valued, and loved. Tina spoke her truth, brought joy wherever she went, and had the ability to light up any room.

She was a proud CNA and home health aide for over 20 years, dedicating her life to caring for others. Beyond her work, she was a devoted mother to her two sons—Alex Byron and James “Budd” Henry—and a proud grandmother to four beautiful grandchildren. But Tina’s love reached far beyond her family; she was a mother figure to countless people in her community, always ready to lend a hand, a smile, or a word of encouragement.

As we navigate this painful time, we are asking for support to help cover her memorial and funeral expenses so that we can honor her in a way that reflects the love she gave so freely to others. All donations will go directly to her sons, James and Alex, as they make arrangements for their beloved mother.

If you are able to contribute, or even share this campaign—we would be deeply grateful. Every act of kindness reminds us just how many lives Tina touched.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting us and helping us give our mom the farewell she truly deserves.

With love,

Alex Byron & James “Budd” Henry
