Byron Frisbee

Byron Dean Frisbee was born to Tommie and Bonnie (Lemons) Frisbee on January 13, 1953, in Bearden, Arkansas, and departed this life Monday, May 13, 2024, at his home, after a battle with cancer. He was 71 years and 4 months of age.

Byron grew up and lived most of his younger days in Norwood, Missouri, and had a special place in his heart for the Norwood Class of ‘71. On January 5, 1972, he was united in marriage to the love of his life Carol Cantrell. They shared 52 wonderful years together.

Byron was always serving others. He served his country in the Army from 1971-1973 with an Honorable Discharge.

He was such a hard worker and provided for his family with long hours on the road driving a truck and running a successful recycling business.

He also served his community driving the school bus for the public and state schools. Byron’s biggest reward was driving the bus for the state school and he formed special connections with all the kids. He never met a stranger and always loved to poke fun at people. If he poked fun at you, you knew that he liked you. One of his favorite things to do was spend time with his family and loved watching his grandchildren play sports.

Byron had rededicated his life to his Lord and Savior and loved his Calvary Temple family.
