Dr. Byron Marshall Hyde studied pre-medicine in the Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto in 1961.
He graduated from the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine in 1966.
After an internship at Montreal's Hotel Dieu and residency at the St. Justine Paediatric Hospital and the Ottawa Civic Hospital, he opened a family practice in Ottawa that continued until 1984 when he started the full time study of post infectious Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.
Dr. Hyde is survived by his beloved wife, Lone; and his children and grandchildren, to whom we send our deepest condolences. We also extend condolences to Lenka, his devoted assistant at Nightingale Research Foundation.
Byron will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His passing is a major loss to the international Myalgic Encephalomyelitis community.
In remembrance of Byron's tremendous passion and service towards others, an expression of sympathy can be made to Nightingale Research Foundation.
