Obituary for David W. Byers BYERS, David Waldo “Buck” of Plano, Texas, born October 6, 1941, passed away peacefully surrounded by family and friends on November 2, 2018. David grew up in Chattanooga, Ohio where his father, Waldo Byers was a Lutheran Pastor and his mother, Elsie Bennett Byers was a School Teacher. He went to University of Miami of Ohio for undergraduate and then to University of Cincinnati where he earned a J.D. Law Degree.

His zest and curiosity to travel the world was remarkable and shared with many of his friends and family.
