Byron was the only person in the truck. Suffolk Fire & Rescue personnel treated him there and took him to the hospital where he died. Suffolk police still were looking into what led to the crash.
He most recently worked for the company I-Soft Solutions. In a statement, Finance and Human Resources Director Martha Dunn said, “If I could think of two words to describe him it would be kind and compassionate. He was super sweet. It’s truly a loss for our company.”
Bryon was 61 years old. He will be missed by many people here at 13News Now, and our thoughts are with his family.
