He was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on December 10, 1949 to the late Elizabeth Gabriel Byrd and Herbert Carlton Byrd. In 1974 he made what he describes as the best decision of his life when he married Claudia Holder Byrd. His family was the most important group of people in his life. Jeff loved his daughter, Belton Caldwell and her husband Jerry; his son, Christian Byrd and his wife Amy; his sister, Johonna Byrd Davis and her husband John; his brother, Michael Carlton Byrd and his wife Deb; his seven grandchildren, Ashton, Weston and Reeves Byrd, and Caleb, Emma, Bella and Lila Caldwell; his nieces and nephews and the Bristol Motor Speedway and Dragway family.

His love of competition never waned and he participated in rec league basketball and softball games alongside his co-workers and friends through 2009. Jeff received his B.A. degree in history and politics from Wake Forest University in 1972. Following in his father's footsteps, Jeff began his career as a sportswriter at the Winston-Salem Journal. It wasn't long until his potential was recognized and he was hired by R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. in their sports marketing department. Jeff was involved in the development and implementation of a multitude of sports and event marketing programs across the sports spectrum-especially impacting NHRA and NASCAR-before ultimately ascending to the role of vice president of business development.

Jeff's faith was the foundation on which he based all of his life decisions and relationships. He believed that everything is part of God's plan and that God has a plan for everyone. No matter what adversity might arise, Jeff believed that trusting in God would show the way. Jeff never met a stranger and every new conversation resulted in a long-lasting friendship. Jeff's impact on the Tri-Cities community cannot be adequately measured. He was a much-sought-after board member and was extremely active in numerous civic and charitable organizations, as well as his church, First Presbyterian in Kingsport, where he was an elder.

Maurice Steingold NORFOLK - After a full and complete life of 94 years, Maurice Steingold passed away Oct. 15, 2010 in his home in Florida, one week before his 61st wedding anniversary. Humble defined his life, beginning, as he was proud to tell anyone, in the Berkley section of Norfolk, the son of Joseph and Ida Laibstain Steingold. He graduated from Maury High School, Norfolk Division of William & Mary and University of Virginia Law School. His love was great for his devoted wife, Thelma Saunders; their four sons and daughters-in-law, Ira and Jean, Lawrence, Joe and Sam and Trish and their grandchildren, Mike, a senior at University of California at "the other Berkeley," Max and Rose. His life's passions, too numerous to count, encompassed professional, athletic and community activities. The youngest of five brothers, he cherished his time while practicing law with Sam and Israel and his frequent visits, at least weekly, with Dr. Ben and Dr. Meyer (Make) and all their families. Concurrently, his real estate development businesses that he enjoyed with his brothers and with his cousins, Simon and Junius Miller, went beyond his wildest imagination. His myriad of nieces and nephews knew that "Uncle Morris" loved being with them and was always there for them. Beginning in the late 1950s, he became an avid tennis player which continued for many decades and sparked his action to set up a scholarship at ODU and be a founder of Tidewater Tennis Center. He and Thelma enjoyed their times at music performances, museums and many other cultural events. Ask him about music and he would run to get his saxophone or sit at the piano and tell you about his days in the Maury High School and University of Virginia bands, plus his young professional career. The family wishes to thank the loving caregivers who provided such great support. A memorial service will be held at Ohef Sholom Temple today at 12:30 p.m. The family will receive friends at the home of Trish and Sam, 107 S. Dogwood Road, Virginia Beach, today and Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m. H.D. Oliver Funeral Apts., Norfolk, is handling arrangements. Online condolences may be made through www. hdoliver.com. |

Michael is survived by his sister, Josephine Bainbridge, of Trenton, N.J.; a nephew, Jack Marut, of Seabright, N.J.; and close friends and adopted family Paul and Beckie Nix, of Concord. Mike was a civil engineer and spent his career with the New Jersey Department of Transportation. In his leisure time, he enjoyed traveling and made several extended vacation trips up and down the east coast with his sister, Josephine. In search of that perfect spot to retire, he found his final home in Virginia. After settling in the Concord area, Mike quickly adjusted to life in the country and loved living on a farm. With time on his hands and his background in engineering, Mike began work on things he had always wanted to do, including building his own computer from the frame up. He offered his treasure trove of knowledge and skills to his neighbors and friends in many ways, helping build houses, decks, pools and more. Although he grew up in the big city, Mike always had a secret wish to drive a tractor and accomplished one of his hearts desires tending to the bush-hogging, mowing and gardening on the farm in Concord. He also invested his time in the lives of his neighbors and learned how to become a master Christmas tree shearer. Mike lived a full life, caring and giving to others and expressed his joy in knowing that he had 'made a difference.'
