Boyd was a Korean veteran serving in the Army from 1953 to 1955.
He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend. His family was always his first priority. He loved horses, root beer floats, and refereeing the Jazz games from his recliner. He never met a weed that he didn't hate. He helped with the construction of the Spring Glen Church and was the first person to paint the steeple. He enjoyed watching his children and grandchildren play baseball, basketball and cheer. He was instrumental in raising funds for the new bathrooms and scoreboard at the Walt Borla field. He was honored to throw the first pitch for their 2014 season.
