The family's statement said Byrne "will always be remembered for his helpful and caring demeanor, his ability to make friends in any setting, and his love for his wife, Bianca."

The couple became trapped in a vehicle on a bridge last week. They tried to drive across and Byrne was swept away, but his wife, Bianca Merritt, swam to safety.

The couple married Oct. 6.
