Eric was an amazing son and dad. He loved the two of you with all his heart and soul. There are too many memories to list. Will basically stayed every weekend he could with Eric and Erika, when they were young. Eric would always take them and his mom out for pizza. Eric would do anything they wanted to do. He was beyond amazing to my son and family. We will miss him dearly and are thankful for all of the memories we have.

Eric G. Byram, age 58, passed away August 21, 2022, at Select Specialty Rehabilitation Hospital in Evansville, Indiana. Eric had been fighting ALS for over 2 years.
Eric was born on September 2nd 1963 in Columbus, Indiana. Eric was a 1981 graduate of Central High School. Eric worked as a Carpenter most of his life. He attended U.S.I and Ivy Tech, and Local 90 Carpenter Apprenticeship School in Petersburg, Indiana. Eric was a journeyman Carpenter; he had his Power Industrial Certification and Osha Certification. Eric worked for 20 years as a Construction Supervisor at Evansville Housing Authority. Eric worked one year as a Construction Superintendent for Flaherty and Collins out of Indianapolis, Indiana. Eric was working at Construction Superintendent at Advantage Development Corporation when he became sick with ALS in 2020.
Eric is survived by daughter Erika Byram of Evansville, Indiana, who is a sophomore and Honor student at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana; his Mother Charlene Byram of Evansville, Indiana; Cousin Melisa Thieman of Cross Plains, Indiana, who came to visit him often, several other Cousins from Vevay, Indiana, Uncle and Aunts Raymond and Donna Dennis of Dillsboro, Indiana, Aunt Nina Lock of Vevay, Indiana, Aunt Diane Byram of Greensburg, Indiana. Eric was preceded in death by his Grandparents Clyde and Sally Peak of Florence, Indiana, Park Byram of East Interprise Indiana, Eric had many friends, one who called Eric his brother in Christ, Ralph Seib of Evansville, Indiana, two other who were there to help him the past couple years Steve Hart and Steve Crewdson, both of Evansville, Indiana, also Jesse Hebner from Evansville, Indiana, and Keith who kept his yard mowed at his house. Eric moved in with his mother 1 ½ years ago so she could care for him. The family would like to thank Mariana Laufer who brought Eric homemade Lasagna about every month. A special friend Todd Miller of Danville, Illinois, who came to visit often.
Eric loved wolves and over the years raised around 12. He had 2 when he became sick and Dr. Oliver took the wolves to his reserve on the west side and is now taking care of them. Eric was a gun collector. Although loved collecting, he would never shoot an animal. He had a love for old cars and trucks, never a new one. Eric had a kind heart and his greatest achievement in his life was his daughter Erika. Eric enjoyed watching his daughter playing softball and after watching a lot of girls not getting playing time. Eric and Deputy Rob Clark started a team calling it the ‘Misfits’ taking girls who weren’t usually picked to play and they won the Championship that year. Eric and Deputy Clark coached together 4 years. He was always there to help other people build something or repair things. Eric found a friend in all.
Visitation will be held on Friday, August 26th, from 5:30pm to 8pm and following on Saturday, August 27th at 10am with service at 11am at Sunset Funeral Home and Memorial Park.
In Lieu of Flowers please make donations to Dr. Oliver’s Wolf and Horse Rescue Ranch. The address is 5601 Old Farm Road Evansville, IN 47720.
