Byron Lawrence Sheets, Sr. “Crazy B” of Casa Grande, AZ, age 65, was born on September 22, 1957, to Beverly Ann Sheets and Donald V. Sheets, Sr. He was the beloved husband of Denisa Calloway-Sheets and transitioned on May 20, 2023, at Banner Desert Medical Center after fighting a long battle with cancer.
He graduated from Hartford Public High School in 1975. Byron was employed as a Lieutenant with Ogden Security and Pinkerton Security companies; being seen at The Hartford Insurance Group for several years. He later moved on to work for Stanadyne, LLC as a Machinist. He met his devoted loving wife in 2009 and they married in June 2010. Denisa gracefully stood by his side throughout his illness until God called him home. Byron was a faithful and active member at The First Cathedral as a Deacon and Valor member until moving to Arizona where he attended Kingdom Living Ministries Church.
Byron loved music which he displayed in his favorite pastime, spinning records. He was also known as DJ Outlaw in the DJ arena. He also loved detailing cars where you would find him on weekends shining them better than most professional companies. He always said with pride that no vehicle was done until it shined with a picture-perfect view. Meaning you could see the street, trees, or yourself in the reflection of the shine and could take a picture of that view with you in it. Byron had an infectious sense of humor in which he was able to leave a lasting impression that you will never forget.
He leaves to cherish his wife of 13 years, Denisa Calloway-Sheets with treasured dogs Carmel Snoflake; Sons, Byron Sheets, Jr. (Hartford), Turi Blade (Lakeland, FL), Dennis Menefee (Vernon); Daughters, LaShanda Kelly (Rodney) (Windsor Locks), Breyonna Sheets (Hartford); Mother Beverly Ann Sheets (Bloomfield); Three brothers: Donald Sheets, Jr. (E. Hartford), Kevin Sheets (Hartford), Richard Sheets (Phyllis) Bloomfield; Two sisters: Lynn Sheets (Hartford), and Tonie Bolling (Wethersfield); Six Grandchildren: Shanquel, Brianna, Mikayla, Arianna, David, and KeMaya; Three Great-Grandchildren: Shaniyah, Bryson, and Michael. A special cousin: James Walker, adopted sons Joshua Lumpkin, and Trenton Bell; and a host of nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends.
Byron was predeceased by his father, Donald V. Sheets, Sr, an uncle Robert Johnson, and an aunt Janet Johnson.
