Boyd Wesley Grossnickle

He was currently employed by Teleperformance USA in Lindon. In his work he was able to make friends around the world. Even though his body was ravaged, Boyd lived life to the fullest and expected few limitations and encouraged other to do the same.
Boyd leaves behind his loving parents, his siblings, Jack Ellis, Salt Lake City, Utah, Kirk Douglas, Ballwin, Missouri, Sena LeighAnn and Rickey Dee, Lehi, Utah, several aunts, uncles and cousins. He also leaves behind his special friends Kelly, Matt, Lisa, Robbie and Rachael.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Marshall Willis, Jennie and the staff of Tri-City Medical for all of the years of loving care. Also, all of the doctors and staff of UVRM and UVSH who shared our world over the last few months and made him laugh again.

Inscription
Our little warrior
Son of Wesley and Debra
Look for Me in springtime
As raindrops fill the air
In the splendor of the rainbow
You'll find My presence there.
You will find Me in the fragrance
Of April's sweet perfume
Drifting through the clover
On a sultry day in June.
An August day will find Me
Upon the summer breeze
On the distant sound of the thunder
In the gently swaying trees.
In the golden fields of harvest
Is where I can be found.
As autumn time approaches
And leaves comes tumbling down.
In the wintertime when days are short
And a chill is in the air
Just look into a moonlit night
You'll find Me lingering there.
When the setting sun has gone away
And shadows fill the night
When the cloak of darkness lifts its veil
I'll be your morning light.
So when you feel discouraged
Get on your knees and pray
You'll feel Me there beside you
I'm just a breath away.
