Wendell Lee “Byrd Dog” Byrd, 44, of Tylertown, died March 26,
2008 at St. Dominic’s Hospital in Jackson after a lengthy illness.
Visitation is 5 to 9 tonight at Guiding Light Pentecostal Church in
Magnolia, then 9 a.m. Saturday until services there at 4 p.m., with
the Rev. Charles Carney, the Rev. Jaron Carney and Bro. Ted Phillips
officiating. Burial will be in Rushing Cemetery in Tylertown under
the direction of Jones Family Funeral Services of McComb.
Mr. Byrd was born Sept. 4, 1963, in Richton. He was the son of
Thomas and Mary Gordon Byrd of Tylertown. He was a member of Guiding
Light Pentecostal Church and was a maintenance worker at Sanderson
Farms. He loved his family and was a hard worker, a great friend and
a wonderful husband and father. His family said he was a jokester
and enjoyed a good joke. At the end of every conversation his
favorite thing to say was, “Tell ’em what I said,” and “That’s
right.” He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
Mr. Byrd was preceded in death by his brother, Dwayne Byrd.

Tylertown; two sons and daughters-in-law, Christopher and Jessie

in-law, Elaine Cooper; numerous nieces, nephews and friends,
including his boss and friend, George Jones of Laurel, and the
original crew at the Sanderson Farms McComb plant.
