He is preceded in death by his parents and both his brothers, Ray and Tony, and Sisters, Cedella Richards, Grace Balcom, and Nadean Jensen.

Byrl has 2 grandchildren: Bryce Briggs (Briana) in Fort Mohave Arizona, and Spencer Briggs of Whitehall Montana. Byrl also has 2 great grandchildren, Benjamin and Becca Briggs of Fort Mohave, Arizona.

Byrl married Grace (Beach) Quilici on January 15,1966 in Twin Bridges, Montana and had two beautiful daughters. They raised their daughters in Twin Bridges and Sheridan Montana. Life as it is brings changes, their marriage ended years later. They managed to be great friends through the years and still shared in family events and holidays.

He enjoyed a good joke and playing a few of his own on the unsuspected person. He was also a quiet man, a gentleman, honest, and a friend to a fault.

He was a hard worker and was well liked and respected at every job that he ever had. He retired at the age of 62 after working many years for the Madison County Road Crew.

Byrl loved his grandchildren, Bryce and Spencer, and they were the highlights of his life. There were many fishing trips and hunting excursions to be had with his grandson and best friend Bryce. Lunches out, singing and teasing back and forth with his grandson Spencer. He even was lucky enough to live close to his great grandchildren in Arizona and enjoy them from 2014 to 2017.

He moved back to Montana in July 2017 to Whitehall to live with his daughter, Tammy and her family. He was living in memory care in Butte at Bee Hive Homes when he passed from dementia. He will be dearly be missed by family, friends and all that took care of him. He is now at peace once again!

Byrl's request was to be cremated and a memorial service to honor and celebrate his life will be held the first part of July when family and friends are able to travel to Montana.

No Flowers are necessary and in leu of donations his request for everyone was to spend that on some special time with your family.
