William Patrick

"Pat" Boyd

What's Not to Love!

October 8, 1951 - February 8, 2018

With the greatest of sadness, we share heartbreaking news. Our beloved Pat has left us. Pat died of cardiac issues after playing a game of pickleball, which he loved, with friends whom he loved. The medical team at UW Medicine, Valley Medical Center, and then at the University of Washington in Seattle, gave him their best. He was revived until he could be revived no more.

Pat was born to Andrew Guy and Margaret Boyd in Vancouver, Washington, the third of six children. He worked for General Construction Company (GCC) for 37 years, until retiring in 2014. His last position with the company was as District Equipment Manager.

Pat as described by his cherished son: My Dad was genuine, an honest man with a great heart, rock solid.

And as described by his long time friend:

Pat could build anything, fix everything and would help anyone.

Pat loved family, fatherhood and friendship.

Pat never balked at hard work, competition, and doing the right thing.

And I will miss that laugh.

Pat is survived by his wife, Lisa Carney; his son, Andrew (Megan) Boyd; and three grandsons, Lachlan, Cohen, and McKenon 'Mack' Boyd; his siblings, Kathy (Mike) Otis, Joe (Nancy) Boyd, Denise Dawson, Pete (Jen) Boyd, Sharon (Andy) Beach; cousins; ten nieces and nephews; and goddaughter, Leah.

Pat was preceded in death by his father, Andrew Guy Boyd; mother, Margaret Boyd; and brother-in- law Jim Dawson; and his uncle, Roy Carroll and aunt, Lorna Carroll.

I will miss the good times I enjoyed with Pat playing cribbage and drinking G&T's. Pat was the best neighbor you could ask for; always there for you and willing to lend a hand, share, or offer advice. Pat was one of the most competitive people I know, whether playing cards, pickle ball, or just doing stuff. He always had a happy disposition and and a loud laugh. I will miss him greatly.

I've heard of the loss of your loved one.Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us that God's true thoughts are of peace for us, not pain. May reflection on his goodness comfort you.

I remember Pat at the feed lot ranch in Sunnyside. All the Boyds at the dinner table with Hoss at the head. What a vivid wonderful memory of a dynamic family. My first experience of Yorkshire pudding. Sad for his siblings.

Dear Lisa and family, You have been in my thoughts and prayers since Pat's passing. Lisa, I'm so thankful that you have a large family to help and surround you with love and compassion as you deal with the passing of your husband.
My heart broke when I heard of my sweet cousin's passing. I still can't believe it. I, too, will never forget Pat's laugh (it was the best), his kindness, generous spirit, loving heart and commitment to family. Pat always held a special place in my heart. I'm so thankful for the memories that I will cherish of our family gatherings.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the funeral and celebration of life for Pat as I will be out of town. I will hold you, the Boyd's and the Carroll's in my thoughts and heart that day.
With love,
Laurie Turay, Taylor & Maddie Turay, Sean Turay and Taylr Scott.

My heart aches for the loss of Pat. I ache for you, Lisa, and for all of us who still can't believe it. Can only think he is playing pickle ball in the sky and winning every game!
