John Kirby Lytton

John was a beautiful human. His kindness and thoughtful, considerate nature were his most obvious qualities, strengths acknowledged and lauded by everyone who knew him. He will be greatly missed.

John was born August 26, 1970 in Melbourne, Australia and moved to Bryan with his family shortly afterwards, where he grew into adulthood. John graduated Bryan High School in 1988, then attended Texas A&M University, graduating in 1998 with a degree in Information Systems.

John had an avid interest in, and talent for music; he played piano from a young age, and played the trombone in the high school marching band, concert band and stage band, achieving all region honors. Recently, he also decided to start playing the saxophone, and did well with that, too.

John was also known for his sense of humor, and was always quick to share a joke or a pun. This might be the understatement of the century. If he had been the one writing this, you would probably be laughing by now.

He was the youngest brother, and he always enjoyed a chance to take care of someone else for a change. He was known for his tenderness with small children and animals, and he was one of those people who have no mean streak at all. People like that are rare, and all of us got to know one because we knew him. His last job, at the Brazos Valley Center for Independent Living (BVCIL), was excellently suited to him, as his genuine consideration, kindness and sense of humor were an asset in providing care for the community of individuals served by BVCIL.

Prior to BVCIL, John had also spent a number of years working with several different organizations in the Bryan College Station area, including Lyric Technologies, the String and Horn shop in downtown Bryan, and with the Eagle, the local newspaper. He was known to everyone as a conscientious worker, and of course, as one with a sense of humor. For instance, one of his favorite experiences working at the Eagle was meeting two wiener dogs named Jimmy Dean and Vienna while on his rounds.

John is survived by his parents, Dr. Robert L. Lytton, and Marilyn Anderson Lytton; an older sister, Lynn Lytton; an older brother, Rob Lytton; his nephew, David Lytton (and spouse Alexa Lytton); his niece, Elizabeth Lytton. He’s also survived by an aunt and uncle, Noeli Lytton and Jim Moll; cousins Zack and Gwen Wotawa; cousin Greg Miller (and spouse Mary, children Rachel and Rebecca); an aunt Karen Clements; cousin Christa Clements, cousin Kelley Clements (and spouse Rhonda), as well as cousin Jason Clements (and spouse Allison, and children Kevin and Oliver). He is also survived by his legacy of thousands of puns and jokes.

Memorials may be made to the Brazos Valley Center for Independent Living, to help them continue John’s legacy of conscientious kindness.
