Michael R. Byrnes, Sr.

January 29, 1960 ~ October 10, 2025

Michael R. Byrnes Sr., 65, passed away on Friday October 10, 2025 in Vero Beach, Florida surrounded by his family. He was born in Buffalo, New York on January 29, 1960, the son of the late Thomas J Byrnes II and Myra Byrnes.

He is survived by his loving children: Michael R. Byrnes Jr. (Tiffany), Christopher D. Wagner, Timothy R. Byrnes (Maegan), and Ireland B. Wheatley (Austin), as well as five beloved grandchildren who brought him great joy.

A true sports enthusiast, Michael was a devoted fan of the Buffalo Bills, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and the New York Yankees. But most of all he loved watching all these sports with his children. Michael spent many days playing golf with family, friends and colleagues.

For over 30 years he worked as a service manager. Michael loved his jobs and always took special care of his employees. Michael’s life was a testament to his motto: work hard / clean living. His legacy will continue through all who were fortunate enough to know and love him.

Michael had a deep appreciation for life and family, always finding ways to bring everyone together and make lasting memories. He brought smiles to those who needed them most and offered understanding even when it was hard to accept. His stories, humor, and warmth filled every room with laughter and love.

Michael is also survived by his many siblings; Peggy Byrnes, Thomas J Byrnes III (Lynn), Elizabeth Brown (Gregory), Maureen TenEyck (Mark), Colleen Byrnes, Judi Byrnes and Grady Byrnes (Christine).

A celebration of Michael’s life will take place later, honoring his memory and the love he shared with all who knew him.

I remember Michael when he and my brother were pin setters at Lakeview in Averill Park while our Mom was in a bowling league. It was a time of fun and innocence having Maureen and Michael as friends. Wonderful memories.
Praying for Michael’s family during this time of grief.

  • The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

  • Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
