Rest Well Classmate! You will truly be missed! Class of 1979!
Faison, you were not only my classmate, you were my big brother. You were an amazing person with a huge heart. From the rides to state playoffs in your small car where we were packed in it like sardines in high school to the best Class of 1979 Homecoming Parade where we celebrated it Mardi Gras style. You will be missed immensely. To the Byas family, please accept my deepest condolences. My thought and prayers are with you and your family.

Pumpkin is what I have always called Fraison sauce nice we were children. We spent a lot of our childhood growing up together off and on, but we never stop being close cousins. He moved me into my apartment in Atlanta and then into my house. We spent that time reminiscing his father we called Uncle Sugar, who was a legend in the family. Pumpkin will be missed and continued to be loved, because he was a loving person. I am sending this message from the airport in DC where my flight was delayed and will inhibit me from attending the service. I would like to express my sympathy to his children and let them know that I love them and I have not forgotten about them. Stay pray full.
Thank you for the nickname Minnie. You treated me like blood. You will forever be missed and honored.
