The resolution honors the life and legacy of Billy Daryl Pyron, who passed away on May 18, 2025, at the age of 85. Born in Tyler, Texas, on November 20, 1939, he was a dedicated member of his community, known for his successful career in commercial real estate and his contributions to the development of south Tyler. Pyron was actively involved in various organizations, including the Cedars of Lebanon and local country clubs, and was a supporter of charitable causes such as St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. He was a man of faith, having attended Central Baptist Church and later the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception.

Billy Pyron was a devoted family man, proud father to four children and a beloved "Big Daddy" to six grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He enjoyed spending time with his family, particularly at Lake Palestine, and had a passion for collecting sports cars and supporting the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Longhorns. The resolution expresses heartfelt condolences to his family, including his longtime companion Judith D. Elliott, and acknowledges the impact he had on the lives of those around him through his generosity, humor, and dedication. The Texas Senate will adjourn in his memory, and an official copy of the resolution will be prepared for his family.
