Carl Pyron, born on April 16, 1939, in Lancaster, Texas, to Vance and Annie Pyron, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family. A proud graduate of SMU with a degree in electrical engineering, Carl's passion for baseball saw him excel as a varsity outfielder through high school and college. His distinguished career with the Federal Communications Commission saw him rise to Director of the Eastern Division, where he notably developed pioneering software for the FCC Information Center. Retiring in 1999, Carl's melodic tenor voice graced the church choir from his teenage years and throughout his life, and he found great joy in teaching and mentoring teenagers at church. 

He is survived by his devoted wife, Diane (Dee), his children Doug Pyron and Darla Pyron, his sister Barbara Pyron McMillen, and two nieces. He is also survived by a loving brood of grandchildren and bonus kids: Dylan Calder, Major Oswald, Blaize Oswald, Madelynn Simmons, London Samiloglu, Dawson Gwin, Kaya Samiloglu, River Simmons, Ryder Simmons, Mercy Simmons, Bastion Samiloglu, of Leya & Tunc Samiloglu; Aly & Shawn Gwin and Rob & Liz Simmons. Carl was predeceased by his parents and his sister Linda Pyron Selmon. 

His legacy of love, community service, and dedication to his faith will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
