Byron Brower, Jr., 88, of Texarkana, Texas, died Tuesday, July 26, 2011, in a local hospital.
He was born August 8, 1922, in Red Springs, Texas.
He was retired from Red River Army Depot, and was a United States Army Air Corps veteran of World War II.
Byron was never called by his name by his friends or family. Instead, he was known as "Junior" or "June" all of his life. He was an avid hunter. He hunted quail, squirrels, raccoons, and occasionally deer. He always like to hunt with dogs whether it be an English setter that he raised and trained for quail or squirrels with a dog that he traded for with his Uncle Alex Presley. He also hunted fox and coyotes with a fine bunch of Walker hounds that he would usually raise and train himself. He especially liked to hunt with his friends Lavelle and James Foshee at the fox pen on Will Steele Road. Many a night was spent gathered around the campfire listening to the dogs run after the coyotes there. Another passion in Junior's life was horses. He rode and worked cattle with his friends, Leon Power, Bud Cork, and cousins, Billy Stotts and Arlton Brower all over the surrounding area. He rode until he was over 70 years old. He was a licensed trainer and raised many fine Quarter horses that he won races with in Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. He lived a full life and will be missed dearly for his terrific sense of humor by his many friends and family.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Doris Pounds Brower; a son, Greg Brower; a brother, Scott Brower, Sr.; and two sisters, Helen Brower Brettel and Dale Brower Farmer.
He is survived by three sons and daughters-in-law, Richard and Glenda Brower, Steven Brower and Dennis and Ruth Brower and Sharon Brower; one brother and sister-in-law, Don and Sue Pounds; and eight grandchildren.
