Obituary of Byron Richard Morelock

On the morning of Sunday August 10th, while most of the world was waking up to the smell of coffee and bacon or the laughter of their children and their tiny loving hugs, the lives of the Morelock family were being changed forever, Byron Richard Morelock was simply gone. He passed in his sleep with no pain and no fear of what was to come, but for the first time in a long time opened his eyes in a place where he felt nothing but peace. Over the past few days our family has heard story after story of what an amazing person Byron was, to them he was a friend, a co-working, a brother. To his children he was a hero, a protector, a best friend… a dad. Our family has been cheated, a life cut short before plans had been made, before stories had been shared, before good-bye could be spoken. In this time we find ourselves lost, but before we can start the journey of figuring out how to navigate this world without this amazing man, we need to say good-bye. Arrangements entrusted to Ammen Family Cremation and Funeral Care, 1001 S. Hickory Street, Melbourne, FL (321) 724-2222. Please join our family as we celebrate the life and memories of Byron R. Morelock on Saturday August 16th at 6pm, with a dedication around 7:00 pm. The celebration will be followed by a lantern release over the ocean at dark. We will continue to update everyone with specific details in the days to come.
