B Free will truly be missed. He sometimes referred to himself as the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time.) I couldn't agree with him more. It was an honor to have the opportunity to known him.

What can I say...Byron, I would like to thank you for being so selfless and bringing so many people together on your day of celebration 4/9/06. On this God served you with not a death certificate, but with a certificate of life to celebrate your everlasting rewards in heaven! You will always be missed and remembered!
In God's love, Tiffany

I only had the opportunity to meet free on one occasion but it was enough for me to take note of his strength and resilience. I was taken aback from his spirit and even though he was suffering he didn't let it affect him in a negative way. I smiled as I read the articles about him. He was truly an amazing individual and a born Leader. He was the center and core of so many things he had in hand in. I hope that Free Rests in peace and knows that he positively effected everyone he came in contact with.. even the ones he only met once.
RIP Free

My prayers go out to the Freeman family. I knew Byron for a long time and he was a role model for a lot of brothers in Alpha Phi Alpha. He was also great person as well as a person I will never forget.

Byron was a fraternity brother to my nephew, Daniel Clark. Daniel held him in very high regard. I am grateful for the example of an accomplished, educated, and goal-oriented black man, he provided him. Personally, I find his accomplishments most impressive and wished I had done so much during my time on this planet. May he also be remembered for his charitable acts and kind spirit.

Byron was the first person that I met at BG and quickly became one of my dear friends. He taught me all the ins and outs, how to get that good discount ANYWHERE cause that's how he rolled.LOL When he first became sick he never let that become a crutch for why he couldn't succeed and he never allowed me to get upset about his illness. Our philosophy was " Why sweat the small stuff... life is now". I have truly learned the measure of a man through my friendship with B Free as well as how I want to live the remainder of my life and that is TO THE FULLEST. We all need to make each moment count. Recently I heard someone speak on tombstones. They have your birthdate a dash and your deathdate. The only part that matters is the Dash. What did you do while you were here? Byron you did a lot, you touched many more, and inspired the masses. I LOVE YOU and I will TRULY MISS YOU and KEEP YOU FOREVER in MY HEART!
