Byron Robert Bullough
October 18, 1958 – July 16, 2022
Byron Robert Bullough, 63, passed away peacefully in his home in Noblesville, Indiana, on Saturday, July 16, 2022 after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer.
He was born on October 18, 1958, in Salt Lake City, Utah, the second of six children to Gary and Roberta (Burt) Bullough.
After graduating from Stevenson High School in Livonia, Michigan, Mr. Bullough attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, graduating with a BA degree in Political Science (’83) and an MBA degree (’85). His 37-year career as a retail executive took him and his family to Michigan, Illinois, California, and Indiana.
He met his wife of 39 years, Janna (Lykins), while the two attended BYU. They were married in the Washington D.C. Temple on May 10, 1983.
Mr. Bullough was well known for his infectious sense of humor and love for Diet Coke and plain M&Ms. He enjoyed going for walks and completed his 14th Indianapolis Mini-Marathon this past May. He was an avid fan of the BYU Cougars, Michigan Wolverines, and Chicago White Sox. He had tickets to attend White Sox and Cubs games with his son next month.
He was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints throughout his life, serving in various callings in the Church’s lay ministry for over 40 years, including as a full-time missionary in Madrid, Spain from 1979-1981, as bishop of the Noblesville Ward from 2001-2008, and as an ordinance worker, baptistry coordinator, and sealer in the Indianapolis Indiana Temple from 2018 until his passing. Mr. Bullough loved the temple and had a firm testimony that families are sealed for eternity there.
Survivors include his wife Janna Bullough; four children Robbie (Anna) Bullough, Caroline (Harrison) Smith, Alec Bullough and Rachel Bullough; five grandchildren Adeline, Benjamin, Benson, Charlie, and Claire, with a sixth on the way; five siblings Steven (Deborah) Bullough, Amy (William) Tall, Vicki (Kim) Rindlisbacher, Margy (Chad) Nelson and Sydney (Robert) Turner.
His parents preceded him in death.
Funeral services are scheduled to be held on Thursday, July 21, at 10 a.m. at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 777 Sunblest Blvd, Fishers, Indiana, and will be streamed at (www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDRNIlM19wA). Internment will immediately follow at the New Harmony Cemetery in Columbus, Indiana. A public open house-style gathering is scheduled to take place that evening from 6-8 p.m. at the church on Sunblest Blvd. in Fishers.
The family requests that contributions in Byron’s memory be made to the Humanitarian Aid Fund or Missionary Fund of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
