He was born at Horton, Kansas on September 7, 1942 the son of Everett and Adela Byer and grew up on the family farm near Hamlin, Kansas, graduating from Hamlin High School as valedictorian in 1980. In his youth he was baptized as a member of the Brethren in Christ Church. After attending Upland College in California for one year he returned to major in chemistry at the University of Kansas graduating in 1963. On December 23, 1966 he married Jeannie (Elizabeth Jeanette) Jordan at Jetmore, Kansas. After David's graduation from the University of Kansas Medical School in Kansas City, Kansas in 1967 they settled in Wichita, Kansas for his internship at Wesley Medical Center. They shared an interest in medical missions which took them to Macha Hospital in Zambia from 1968-1970 fulfilling his military service requirement. Upon their return, David entered the residency program in anesthesiology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester on January 1, 1971 and stayed there for his entire career except for a return to Macha from 1974-1976. At the Clinic David served as anesthesiologist primarily for orthopedic and plastic surgeons and was assistant professor of anesthesiology presenting many case studies. He was also a member of the liver transplant team for about six years, including being anesthesiologist for the first combined heart and liver transplant there in 1992. The diagnosis of multiple myeloma resulted in his eventual retirement in December 2010. He and his family especially enjoyed travel and meeting people around the world. On one of his birthdays, David was in three continents before the day was done. Besides travel to professional meetings, he and Jeannie appreciated a family heritage of several generations of global interest in missions and were active in taking others to experience life at Macha and deliver needed medical supplies on numerous visits over the years. His interests aside from work were vast: genealogy, children's book illustrators, classical music and hymns, a wide range of varied worship experiences, sponsoring international students, reading and research. He pursued them all. He was an active member of Salem Road Covenant Church. A motto David used frequently in correspondence in recent years summarized his life and faith and service to others: "Live simply, give generously." Survivors include his wife, 6 children, 7 grandchildren, one sister, one brother, 2 of Jeannie's brothers, one aunt, nieces and nephews and cousins and 8 international students who shared their home at one time. Preceding him in death were his parents, and wife's parents, a sister Ruth Irene in infancy a brother-in-law Bruce T. Groff DVM, a sister-in-law Celia Byer and the family's African granny, Bina Ezra. At David's request his body was donated to the Mayo Clinic Department of Anatomy. His life was committed to God. Inurnment will follow at a later date at Pleasant Hill Cemetery near Hamlin, Kansas. He is one of a fourth generation of the Byer family who is resting at that cemetery. Visitation will be held at 2PM Sunday, November 16, with a memorial worship service at 2:30PM at Calvary Baptist Church, 5905 Silas Dent Road N.W. Rochester, Minnesota 55901. A Lunch will follow. Memorial gifts may be designated to the David E. and Jean Byer Endowed Scholarship Fund for international Students, Messiah College, One College Ave. Mechanicsburg, PA 17055, or to the Rochester (Minnesota) Salvation Army.
