On Friday, July 24, 2020, Dennis O' Deal Byrd, 65, of Bowling Green, Virginia, entered into eternal rest at McGuire VA Hospital in Richmond, Virginia.

Dennis truly had a zest for life and loved his family and extended network of friends and neighbors. He never met a stranger and you didn't feel like one in his presence.

He leaves to cherish his memory four children; Nicole Byrd, Dennis Byrd, Jr., Rico Byrd and Christopher Byrd, his devoted siblings; Gene Byrd, Doris Harvey, Larry Byrd, Betty Byrd, Kathy Byrd, and a special, brother, Roy Atkins; thirteen grandchildren; a host of loving nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and neighbors.  A special thank you to his cardiologist, Dr. Kevin Sumption, and the committed staff at McGuire VA Hospital.

A private family celebration of life will be held Saturday, August 8, 2020 in Bowling Green, Virginia. Interment will be private and will take place on Saturday, August 29, 2020.
