Byron Lee Roam
March 26, 1961 - September 4, 2023

Byron Lee Roam gained his wings and made his way to his heavenly home September 4, 2023.

Byron was born to Donald C Roam, Sr. (deceased) and Loretta (Brant) Roam on March 26, 1961. He was loved greatly by his brothers and sisters, Donald C. Roam, Jr (Jeanette), Tammy (Tom) Wickett, Patsy Roam, Bob Roam, Tina (Clint) Bodkins, Philip (Shannon) Roam. Byron was a father to a daughter, Nichole Malata, 2 beautiful granddaughters, a son, Nathaniel Roam. He also had a beautiful baby boy Seth that passed away as a baby and I know he was waiting in his great grandpas’ arms for his daddy to come home to him. He also had many nieces and nephews that he loved, along with many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

His favorite past time besides spending time with his family & friends, was his love of fishing. If we couldn’t find him at home, we would find him at the river or the quarry, just enjoying catching all the catfish he could find. Byron had a great since of humor, he loved to play tricks on his nieces and nephews, was always ready for a laugh.

Byron’s wishes were to be cremated, with no service arrangements at this time. Arrangements of a gathering will be held later, after the family has time to process this loss.

The family of Byron wishes to extend our sincere thanks to Accura Healthcare in Newton & Staff for taking great care of our brother while he was there. They were amazing. Also, to Coburn Funeral Home & staff for their support & compassion in his transition.

Weep not for me though I have gone

Into that gentle night

Grieve if you will, but not for long

Upon my soul’s sweet flight

I am at peace, my soul’s at rest

There is no need for tears

For with your love I was so blessed

For all those many years

There is no pain, I suffer not

The fear is now all gone

Put now these things out of your thoughts

In your memory I live on

Remember not my fight for breath

Remember not the strife

Please do not dwell upon my death

But celebrate my life
