To Byrne's family Juanita, Melanie Mitchell,Michael mother Ellen Father Dave,Brothers Byron and family and Byrce and family you have mine and my extended families deepest sympathies! Having known and grown up with Byrne my entire life of 46 years I was blessed to have your loved ones presence as one to make each step of the way a more pleasant and enjoyable experience. Through Sunday school, grade and high school Byrne was with the entire way. Byrne without knowing pushed me and a lot of others to be better people and better atheletes. Because of Byrne myself and alot of our classmates were beginning the footsteps of making this world a better place for everyone. After highschool we seemed each to set out on our own journies. After 20 plus years Byrne's and my journies crossed through stockcar racing. I know through my boys that Byrne and Mitchell were again making the lives of those they meet on a daily basis a better and less serious task. For the afore mentioned reasons I thank you for sharing with me and and everyone else such a wonderful blessing and I say with the utmost sincerity this outstanding son, brother, husband, father, and friend will not be forgotten.
Sincerly Kent A Rickertsen
