BYRON OWEN PRINCE
"Eagle Thunder Spirit"
"The Savage"
April 25, 1961 – June 20, 2021
It is with deep profound sadness that we announce the passing of our father, grandfather (Gigi), brother and dear friend, Byron Owen Prince of Winnipeg, Manitoba on June 20, 2021, at the age of 60 years.
Byron was also a band member of Peguis First Nation.
Byron will be lovingly remembered by his daughter, Kayla Fox; his granddaughter and best buddy, Halle Waditaka; son, Ian Rondeau; stepson, Dylan Denton; sisters, Elaine (Leonard), Beverly Green, Debbie (Rick), and Amy Prince; brother, Louis (Gloria); his cousin who he was very close to Dana; his nieces and nephews; his very special friend Kathy Fox, life long friends Laurie Parker Sr. and Livio Bertosa; mother figure Lesley Fox (Kitty); sisters-in-law Laura- Lala (Lloyd), Rhonda, and Donna; as well as many other relatives and friends. Byron was predeceased by his parents, William (Arnold) and Valerie Prince and by his dear friend, Billy Lane and Mike Babinsky and his dog Savage.
Byron spent lots of time at Assiniboine Downs competing in competitions as the family had involvement and boarded their own horses. Byron's true passion was boxing, he had travelled and was a three time golden gloves champ. Byron was a family man and loved by many. Loving animals was in the blood and following his boxing he always wanted to be someone to look up to.

I remember Byron from as far back as 1983. He was tough, he looked tough but he had a really good part of him. Sadly we have moved back to Winnipeg to hear of his passing saddened us. See ya in a few years bro. - Posted by: Mike Black (Friend,sparring partner) on: Jun 30, 2022

I knew Byron since he stepped into the boxing ring,along with his brother Louis, back in the 70's at the old Pan Am club in the basement on Main St. He was a talented and Charismatic little fighter who we quickly labelled "little Ali " for all his moves and speed. He was a crowd favorite along with his brother Louis...as they were both very talented. I hadn't seen Byron or Louis since their father Arnold's passing and I offer my condolences. - Posted by: Bill Turner (Friend) on: Jul 16, 2021

So very sad to hear Byron has left us. He was a great guy! A friend, A gentleman. I meet Byron when he was still boxing, stayed in touch for many years, until our lives took different paths. Thought about him often. He always said he wanted to work with kids. His daughter was his pride and joy. Rest my friend. Condolences to his family and friends. - Posted by: Doreen Cook (Friend ) on: Jul 07, 2021

Decades ago, we spent a lot of time with Byron. We were very surprised to hear about his passing. He was way too young. Very sad. May you rest in peace Bryon. Our condolences to his family and friends. - Posted by: Rick and Teresa Negrich (friend) on: Jul 03, 2021

It’s too bad we have to see a dear friend pass WAYYYY too young as Byron had many passions he wanted to complete in his life like, ways to help the poor and needy people to give them a hand up rather than a hand out trying to raise awareness and money for these passions. If you asked Byron for a hand to do something, he wouldn’t complain, rather just say, “When do you need me there”. He was a friend indeed and all I can say now is Rest in Peace My Friend!
