So sad to hear of Boyd's passing. One of the best weldor's I ever worked with. Your ability to crush a golf ball was legendary! So many good talks and good times. No way to describe how your loss feels. RIP little brother

I am going to miss our long talks on the phone, and all the bantering on messenger and text throughout the years. It still hasn't sunk in yet, that we won't go on another pontoon boat ride together. You lived a great life, and I will miss you. Love you cousin.

So sad to hear the news. Too young. You were one of the good guys, Boyd. I’m grateful to have known you for so long. Never met anyone so quiet that could crack me up with one well timed line. I wish Guy, Jon, Derrick and the rest of your family peace in their time of loss. Love you, brother. You will be missed.
