Byron Lloyd Mott, 61, son of James and Bernice (Rapp) Mott, was born July 31, 1950 in Clinton, Missouri and passed away November 20, 2011 at his home in Rockville, Missouri surrounded by his family and loved ones.

Byron lived in Rockville all of his life, graduating from Appleton City High School in 1968 and later from CMSU with a degree in Business Administration. After college he moved back to Rockville to join the family business, Mott Meat Company. Byron enjoyed his work and also did some farming.

Byron was involved in several community activities including serving on the Appleton City School Board for 12 years and the Prairie City School Board for three years. He was a member of the Rockville Lions Club and Beta Sigma Psi Fraternity. He was also an Elder and past treasurer at Zion Lutheran Church as well as a choir member and Sunday school teacher.

On August 28, 1971 Byron married his high school sweetheart, Connie Nichols, and they were blessed with four children. He was known in his family as "the grill master". He also liked to fish, hunt, watch movies and play cards. Byron and Connie were blessed to celebrate their 40th Anniversary this year with their family and friends. Byron was known for his quiet, gentle ways and his never-ending patience. His family was always his first priority in life and he loved spending time with them.
