posted E-mail Story E-mail Story | Print Story Print Story 
Graveside services for Byron Bellew, Sr., were held Thursday, April 10, 2008, 11 a.m. at Azalea Rest Cemetery in Zachary under the direction of Comer Funeral Home in Ferriday.

Mr. Bellew was born December 4, 1935 in Riverton, IA. He passed away Tuesday, April 8, 2008, after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

He enlisted in the Navy and became an air traffic controller. His fascination with aviation also led him to attending Louisiana Tech University for aviation and become an accomplished commercial pilot. Like all renaissance men, Byron became versed in many specialized fields of study. As a talented artist, he painted beautiful portraits in both pastels and oil based paints. His artistry migrated to photography where he experimented with lighting, multiple exposure, and dark room manipulation. Beyond his time with family, Byron's greatest joys were digital photo restoration and the conception of new inventions to better mankind.

He is survived by his wife, Gayle; two sons: Byron and his wife, Janina, and Tony and wife, Amy; three grandchildren: Anthony, Kristen, and Paige; and sister: Patricia.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the American Cancer Society.
