A Faithful Man of Uncommon Balance
Jack Edwards Byrom was born on March 2, 1929 in San Antonio, Texas, and died in Richardson, Texas on June 10, 2021. He grew up in the towns of Lytle and Somerset, surrounded by his loving parents and three brothers, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is survived by his 3 children, Debbie Byrom Welch, Mary Byrom Beall, and James Edwards Byrom, their spouses, 8 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren, all of whom know him as “Papa.” He had a unique and special relationship with each of his children and grandchildren, officiating at most of their weddings and baptisms. He had a keen interest in their success in life as well as their faith in God. His many friends often referred to him as “Brother Jack” or “Dr. Jack.”
Eleven years ago, Jack lost his beloved wife of 57 years, Bobbie Massey Byrom. But as anyone who knew him could attest, she never left his heart and remained ever-present in his conversations and everyday life. He spent his last 10 years living near family in the Dallas area, where he made new friends and taught Bible studies at Atria and Twin Rivers.
