Happy 64th

December 27, 2019
Tinky,

Still miss you every second! I still find myself walking towards the back of the house to tell you something, every now and then! You were the person I wanted to go to when anything good or bad happened. So what do you do when the worst thing that ever happened to you happens, and it happened to the person you go to??  I never knew you could feel pain as deeply as I did when you died. To be honest it really hasn't gotten any better. I have just learned it is part of life now, but it will never go away! But as horrible as it has been, knowing how bad it would feel, I would do it again in an instant! Me and LittleMan love you!

Happy Birthday to my Sweetie!

December 27, 2018

Another birthday without you. They say it gets easier, but I don't think so. I miss you all the time. I still want to go to you whenever something good or bad happens. It is so different around here without your humor! I am always thinking about goofy things that you would do to make me laugh, and I will laugh out loud, and then that makes me miss you even more! I do not feel like myself without you!  Half  the time I feel like I am just going through the motions. We miss you and love you! Give your dad and the girls a kiss from all of us!

Two years since you left.

Scott, 

Sunday Bob and Mike had the 2nd annual tribute to you at La Hacienda. So many friends and musicians were there. Bob got up and sang the first song, and I thought it was you! Everybody still misses you so much! There isn't a week that goes by, that somebody doesn't post a video or pic of you! I spent so much time trying to tell you when you were alive how talented and loved you were, and you never believed it. I guess you can see it now. Every-time something great like this happens, you are the person I want to run to and tell all about it, and you are gone. It hurts today every bit as much as it did when it happened. I have no doubt we will be together again, but it isn't the same. I love and appreciate the little signs you send me! Little Man and I love and miss you so much!! Give your Dad and sisters a kiss for me!

Love you always,

Your TuTu and Little Man


One Year Anniversary since you left

November 7, 2017

Well this is an annniversary that I NEVER wanted to have!!! A Year ago today, was definitely the worst day of my life!! It is the day that Scott passed away.  For several months, I think I was in shock. It has not gotten any easier, instead, I think it has gotten harder. Scott had a crazy sense of humor, and loved to make people laugh. He would do crazy things all of the time just to make you laugh, and his humor and kind heart is something I miss the most!! I still can't be...lieve he is gone, and the day he left, he took a huge piece of me with him!!   Scott was so many things! Besides for being an incredible musician, he was a talented woodworker, inlayer, and could design and build anything!!! Aside from that, he was an incredible son, father, brother, friend, and the love of my life!!! Until the time that he comes to pick me up, when it is my turn to pass, there is not a day that will go by that I won't think of him, miss him and love him!!!  I was blessed to have him for the time that I did!!!! I love you Scott!!

Tribute to Scott from his dad

February 1, 2017


A tribute to my son, Scott Byers
From infancy, Scott was a mixture of so many things - bright, happy, strong, athletic, industrious, lazy, outgoing, introverted, but above all kind, gentle and multi-talented. He could build almost anything and could bring wonderful sounds from an acoustic guitar and his one of a kind voice.
We sent him off to college, but it didn't take. He serenaded his dormitory mates as they went off to class, but he didn't care to join them, and he welc...omed them back with a song. He went to Colorado to find himself and discovered that he didn't want to be a roofer and that it is not advisable to drink straight from those "clear blue mountain streams." He also wrote a pretty little song called "In Sand".
When Blackrose came into being with its wonderfully talented members and fantastic potential, the allure of being a part of that was stronger than that of the law practice. I thank God for my two year sabbatical, traveling with my son and all those talented guys. We all tried hard to become one of the tiny fraction of bands that reach "the big time". We almost pulled it off but the lighting strike just missed!
Scott and wife, Kathy have raised two beautiful images of themselves. Smart, sweet, gentle and loving. At his death, he was sharing a deeply loving marriage with his devoted second wife, Cindy. Another great love of his life...Little Man, his dog, mourns his passing with all his little soul.
It is indescribably painful to lose your only son and the last of the three children we loved so dearly. I'm happy though, despite the many times I bugged him about getting a "real job", he stayed the course. In doing so, he touched more people and brought happiness to more people than he ever could have in my world.
I wish I could have told him goodbye, but this will have to do.
I hope he knew as the light faded away, that him mother and I loved him without reservation forever and ever.
Bob Byers

My Husband

October 6, 2016

The first time I met Scott, I thought he was cocky, and didn't think much of him. The more I went out to listen to Sylvia, the more I got to know him, and found out he was anything but cocky! Most of the time he was insecure. I remember wanting to pull my hair out because he would be insecure about playing some song at a gig. I would tell him what an incredible talent he was!!!

  Everyone close to him knows how funny he was. Sometimes his humor was a little twisted, but none t...he less hysterical. I remember one time he had made my sister so mad she swore she would never talk to him again, and then he walked out of the bedroom wearing nothing except for one of my high heel shoes (which he had all of his manly parts shoved into)!!! And we all laughed til we cried!! Needless to say my sister forgot they had even argued!! Syl, you have played with Scott so long, I don't know how you are going to cope! You were his "work wife"! His parents, the kids, and all his friends and family, this was a huge loss!!

  Scott had a huge heart, and I know he is reading all of these tributes right along with me. It brings me comfort reading them, that so many other people know how wonderful of person he was. I can't imagine my life without him!!! I love you always!!

Cindy
