My thoughts and condolences to the family and friends of Bryan Earl Byrd. I did not know Mr Byrd personally. I know of his beautiful tiles! I am one of the many thousands of grateful customers who enjoy the tiles created by his company, American Restoration Tile. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My heart goes out to all who knew him.

What a fantastic guy who will be missed very much! We always enjoy visiting, talking, and laughing with the Byrds. Bryan set a great example of how to enjoy life. We will miss him.

To Debbie, Sam, Erin, Rachel and their families,
Dianna and I are so very sorry for your loss. Bryan has been a friend as long as I can remember (before we started elementary school). Then, we continued as friends throughout our educational years (high school buddies and college roommates). Bryan always had the most positive attitude of anyone I have ever encountered. Dianna has known Bryan for close to 40 years as well and we both enjoyed his company when we could get together with him and Debbie. We even attended the Byrd family reunions over the years, even though we are not family. But, we felt that closeness with Bryan. Bryan made every aspect of his life count (children, grandchildren, siblings, friends, church family, his musical interests, traveling, and his career). He was an amazing guy and an inspiration to all of us. We will miss him more than we can ever say.

What do I say about Bryan Byrd except to say he was my friend and Boss and someone I have known since 1978 as we worked together at Winburn Tile in the 1970's and I began to work for him here at ART in 2007 and it has been a pleasure to have known the man he was. As I left from
work for the day if he was still here he would say HAVE A GOOD EVENING and I would say YOU TOO. I won't say goodbye to you Bryan I will just say See you Later!!!

Deb and family, our thought and prayers are with you. Bryan, Boss to Tommy, was such a good friend to Tommy, he will be greatly missed. When I was at ART he always took the time visit, such a good good man, Few people can say they love their Boss, but all at ART do. Praying strength and peace for you all.
