Steven Boyd Obituary
Steven Douglas Boyd, 43, of Krum, Texas passed away on Thursday, July 19, 2018 in Denton, Texas. He was born July 1, 1975 in Abilene, Texas to Don and Rebecca (Tate) Boyd. Steven married his soul mate Michelle Sutphin in 2010.
How do you describe the man who was so much too so many people? Steven is hard to put into print; he touched the lives of so many people and never knew a stranger. Steven was the greatest artist, no paint brushes in his world, just beautiful metal works. He loved that his job was also his hobby. He was a true Texan and his handshake was his word. Steven's giving knew no bounds, his smile was contagious, his forgiveness knew no limits, and his hugs could erase the world. He was the greatest father, husband and friend, one who did not allow society to dictate who he considered his child, family and who he could love. His family was his world. The love story of his marriage is a once in a lifetime fairy tale. Steven's passing leaves a void that will never be filled.
Steven is survived by his wife, Michelle Boyd; Sons Wade Wilson, Chad Boyd, Bradley Boyd, Daughter Adrienne Sweigart, Parents Don and Rebecca Boyd, Brothers Daniel (Karissa) Boyd, Patrick (Kyle) Boyd, Nathan (Mandy) Boyd, and a large extended family.

Services will be Thursday July 26th, 2018 at the Justin Church of Christ at 4 P.M.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to a scholarship honoring him. For further information, please contact the family.

To the Boyd family,
I wanted to write this in memory of Steven.
It is with a heavy heart although not an empty one that I say that I am proud to have been a part of Steve and his familys life. Not empty as the love he showed everyone was enough to fill the heart time and time again. I say Steves family as being such a loose term. In his eyes, family was anyone and everyone that shared the same love for life as Steve did.
I moved to Texas eight years ago, and within a short amount of time I was introduced to Steve through my now father-in-law. I remember working on the Eagle apartments like it was yesterday, and as I write this the memories of the work we accomplished keep growing. I remember the bending of wires which no one was a fan of, the painting in the makeshift paint booth behind the garage, and finally to the installation. If memory serves me correct, there was once a snake found in the garage and not to forget the coffee he shared with me that was without a doubt the best coffee I have ever tasted. He showed me how to weld, nowhere near as good as him, and he even got into a bidding war with my father-in-law to keep me working with him.
While working with Steve, I was struck with the loss of my grandfather a mere two weeks before I was already scheduled to take my newborn son to visit him. It was the act of a gentle giant that handed me a weeks worth of pay and then handed me a matching amount. As my world collapsed around me, Steve and family were there. He gave me a ride to the airport with my 6 month old son and a ton of gratitude that I still hold close today.
Flash forward a few years and my life has taken me in a new direction giving me a family of my own. I had a new career, and as fate would have it, I needed to call on Steves help again. For the past year and a half, Steve has worked at the same location as me and changing the very world I love in each day. I cannot go to work without seeing a plant full of his fabrications. And not too long ago, he had told me he was proud and impressed with the life I had achieved in the short time after having worked with him.
I am heartbroken, because he showed me how a life should be lived. Without fear, without hate and without judgement as he seen nothing but the very best in people. I hope that the lives he touched pass on that generosity as he did. There are many lessons that can be taught through knowing Steve but I hope the one that anyone who knew him learns, is that family no matter their blood, but family.. is first.
Thank you to the Boyd family for sharing their lives with me. I am forever thankful.
I love each of you.

There are no words worthy of our entire staff's heartache when getting the message last Thursday. Steven for years was always always a Blessing and Joy to our office, whether just a phone call or an actual visit. He referred friends and family. We also knew him outside the office as a friend, but like a family member. He was always Positive , Happy, Thankful, Ethical, High Standards/ Morals. Michelle , one of the first things I think of is, he always thought of YOU before himself in all of our conversations. There is nothing better than to leave a legacy behind with this description and very few people can hold a candle to this man!! Our prayers are with this entire wonderful family.
Sincerely,
Dr Jones, Dr Paule, Belinda and Staff

We were in the Howe Church of Christ youth group with Steven and his brothers and are so sorry to hear of his passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Boyd family. His obituary is so sweet and heartfelt, and even though we haven't seen him in years, it's exactly how we remember Steven.

Still shocked that you are gone. I am so glad that I was able to get to know you and that I will always have my wonderful shop to remind me of you and your love of welding. Only wish I could have got those lessons you were supposed to give me. Will miss hearing your truck go by. Michelle and Family ~ My heart goes out to you. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace Steven.

Steven always could make me smile and he had a laugh that was contagious. Everyone that he came into contact with him knows what I mean and he touched each and everyone of them in different ways. God was first family was second he always made sure Michelle and the kids had what they needed even if it was a hard lesson in life. He will be truly missed but never forgotten. My family sends love and prayers to Steven and his family.

Michelle, Ive called Steven my best friend for 11 years now and I know at first I didnt approve of you, but only because I didnt know you and I knew how special Steven was and that it would take someone absolutely amazing to be good enough for him. Then I got to know you and you grew on me. I hope that you know throughout the past 8 years I grew to love you just the same. I wish I could take all your pain away and fill that void, but I know that could never happen. I love you so much and Jay & I are here for anything you & the kids need! I will continue to pray, love, and support you guys as long as you need. In the end we are family and that will never end! Love you sweetie to the moon and back

There are no words to describe him except for a man with a HUGE heart. He loved everyone he met and could always put a smile on your face. He was a mentor to a lot of young men that looked up to him and all he stood for. You will be greatly missed. Michelle and family - my prayers go out to you guys.
