Depuis tout petit, il voulait \u00eatre le meilleur. Tout jeune, sa nature g\u00e9n\u00e9reuse et dynamique transparaissait d\u00e9j\u00e0 et continua \u00e0 se d\u00e9velopper au fur et \u00e0 mesure qu’il grandissait.<\/p>\n

Byron \u00e9tait un petit gar\u00e7on typique, d\u00e9bordant de malice et de joie. Il adorait jouer \u00e0 un jeu de billes appel\u00e9 “Hungry, Hungry Hippos,” mais il aimait aussi jouer sagement pendant des heures avec ses Lego. Byron \u00e9tait l’ami que chacun voulait avoir: celui qui veillait toujours sur les autres et celui qui savait les divertir. Tr\u00e8s t\u00f4t, le hockey occupa une place importante dans la vie de Byron. Cette passion continua \u00e0 l’\u00e2ge adulte et devint un lien sp\u00e9cial entre lui et son jeune fils.<\/p>\n

Bien qu\u2019il n\u2019ait jamais exprim\u00e9 le d\u00e9sir d\u2019\u00eatre soldat, Byron a fait partie des cadets pendant un an, en 9i\u00e8me ann\u00e9e, \u00e0 Red Deer. En 12i\u00e8me ann\u00e9e, peu apr\u00e8s No\u00ebl, il informa sa famille qu\u2019il voulait entrer dans l\u2019arm\u00e9e. Byron n\u2019\u00e9tait pas issu d\u2019une famille de soldats, mais il avait une \u00e9nergie bouillonnante \u00e0 canaliser au service d\u2019une cause. Deux semaines apr\u00e8s sa graduation de l\u2019\u00e9cole secondaire, Byron prit l\u2019avion pour Qu\u00e9bec pour sa formation de base. Il avait 17 ans.<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s la formation de base, Byron entra \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cole de combat \u00e0 Wainwright, en Alberta. Par la suite, il fut affect\u00e9 \u00e0 Edmonton, o\u00f9, \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 18 ans, il rencontra l\u2019amour de sa vie. Quelques ann\u00e9es plus tard, leur fils naissait. Byron servit comme soldat, parachutiste et membre du peloton de reconnaissance du bataillon. En 2007, il fut affect\u00e9 en Afghanistan pour sa premi\u00e8re mission.<\/p>\n

Byron et sa femme se mari\u00e8rent quelques semaines seulement avant sa deuxi\u00e8me affectation en Afghanistan. Il eut la chance d\u2019\u00eatre de retour chez lui, juste \u00e0 temps pour la naissance de leur fille, et ce fut une p\u00e9riode o\u00f9 il put passer du bon temps avec sa famille avant de retourner en Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

La nature protectrice de Byron, d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9vidente quand il \u00e9tait enfant, se d\u00e9veloppa et devint un atout pour la vie militaire. Il \u00e9tait hautement respect\u00e9 par tous ceux qui travaillaient et servaient avec lui, et il se r\u00e9v\u00e9la \u00eatre un soldat d\u00e9vou\u00e9 et travailleur. Sa pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance s\u2019\u00e9tendait au-del\u00e0 de l\u2019arm\u00e9e. Byron \u00e9tait sans cesse actif et tr\u00e8s en forme, jouant au hockey et au golf. Il \u00e9tait ravi d\u2019avoir pu transmettre \u00e0 son fils son amour pour le hockey, et il l\u2019emmenait dans les vestiaires apr\u00e8s les parties pour passer du temps avec les \u00ab gars. \u00bb C\u2019est peu dire que de parler de Byron comme d\u2019un boute-en-train. Il avait beaucoup d\u2019amis et les gens \u00e9taient attir\u00e9s par lui \u00e0 cause de sa nature d\u00e9monstrative et de son dynamisme contagieux. Il avait parfois son franc-parler, mais c\u2019\u00e9tait bien accept\u00e9 gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 son sens de l\u2019humour. Byron \u00e9tait un gars qui aimait plaisanter et s\u2019amuser, qui adorait rire aux \u00e9clats et faire des farces.<\/p>\n
