SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- A San Francisco man who police say was fatally stabbed after picking his young son up from school last week is being remembered as a "devoted father, a loving son, and a joyful presence to everyone who knew him." Robert Byrd II had just picked up his son around 4:40 p.m. last Wednesday, Sept. 10 when he was fatally stabbed in SF's Taraval district.

"This senseless act of violence has left us all deeply shocked and heartbroken," said a fundraiser organized by an SF Schools Parent Club Organization on Bryd's family's behalf. Byrd is being remembered as "someone who brought laughter and warmth wherever he went," and "a person who took life seriously but always found ways to share joy."
