I learned yesterday through a friend that Town Center CVS Pharmacist Byron passed away suddenly last week, I can honestly say that as a customer there for the last 10 years, Byron and the entire staff at CVS Pharmacy have always been very helpful and gave personal service often remembering Customers by name.Town Center CVS is currently closed due to Harvey Damage and will reopen in March, this is a terrible loss, I understand his funeral was yesterday and that he did a lot for the Kingwood community especially with Kids.RIP Byron

Here’s his obituary:
 
Benedict Byron Bertrand, beloved Kingwood pharmacist, passed away in his sleep on Saturday, November 18, 2017. Byron was born in Jennings, Louisiana, on April 28, 1953, to Malcolm Austin Bertrand and Julia DeRosier Bertrand, both of whom predeceased him.
Byron is survived by his college sweetheart, Ginger Bertrand; his two daughters, Aimee Bertrand and Rebecca (Bill) Adler; his grandchildren, Benny, Abigail and Holt Arrington and a fourth due in February. Byron was Malcolm and Julia’s third oldest child and had six brothers, Dwight (Julie); Roderick (Kaki); David (Lorraine); Wendell; Scott (Kara); and Philip Todd (Kim); and one sister, Jacqui (Robert) Moore.
In addition, he is survived by his mother-in-law, Sybil (Henry, deceased) Roos and his sisters-in-law, Cathey (Michael, deceased) Cook and Betsy (Jack, deceased) Garlinger, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Byron graduated valedictorian from Elton High School in 1971. He served as captain of the football team that won the Class A state championship in 1970. Byron was named to the Louisiana All-State football team.
Byron attended Northeast Louisiana University (now University of Louisiana-Monroe) where he earned his pharmacy degree and met Ginger. He was a charter member of Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity at Northeast, served as chapter president and was the chapter’s Jungle Juice mix master.
Byron and Ginger were married on November 26, 1977, in Shreveport, Louisiana. Upon graduation, Byron joined Ginger in Houston and began his career at Sommers Drugs. Byron and Ginger moved to Kingwood in 1981, where he was an employee of CVS at the time of his death.
Byron was a member of St. Martha Catholic Church, Kingwood Executive Group and Lake Houston Pharmacy Association. He was the current chair of the Pharmacy Technology Advisory Committee for Lone Star College. Byron enjoyed traveling; cooking; dancing at weddings and parties; supporting Ginger’s, Aimee’s and Rebecca’s many pursuits; and entertaining friends and family – with a glass of wine, when possible.
A visitation will be held from 3:00 pm until 4:30 pm at St. Martha’s Catholic Church, 4301 Woodridge Pkwy, Porter, TX 77365 on Tuesday, November 21st 2017, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 4:30pm.
Rite of Committal will follow on Wednesday at Liberty Cemetery in Elton, LA.
Contributions may be directed to Camp for All, 10500 NW Freeway, Suite 220, Houston, Texas, 77092. 4951

I wish I knew about this!  Byron always had a smile on his face and knew my name every time I came into CVS.  He was the sweetest, kindest hardworking man!  I am so sad about this.  I will say a prayer for him and his family! 4951

Such sad news. I trusted this gentle man's opinion more than any doctor who wrote the prescriptions. Countless times he explained things thoroughly and calmed my fears. He was also so sweet to my 90 year old mother who always wanted to tell him a thing or two....
 
Taken way too young, I hope his family sees this thread and it gives them comfort to know how much he was loved. 💔
 
Godspeed 4951
