Boyd Skiles Smith

It's so hard for me to even start to think about the love I had for My Boyd. Almost every day I would chat with him online or on the phone. We'd share frustrations, desires, likes and dislikes. He would often offer to just "hang out" and enjoy each other. He saved me in so many ways from the demons surrounding my life. He rescued me in so many ways with his thoughtfulness, his heart, his kindness and his love. I miss him every day and keep his photo on my dresser to see every day and remind...

I cannot believe that it has been nearly a year since we lost our beloved Boyd. There is not a day that has past that I have not thought about him. I have constant reminders of him all around me that make me smile. The pain is still great, but the sound of his laughter rings loud. I try to think of his big crazy smile and all of the amazing fun days we had together. I hope you are keeping all of the other angels entertained. Forever miss you.

It's a year later and the grief is still with me. I am renovating a new apartment and sorely miss Boyd and all his fun, exuberant, on target suggestions for design, placement of all the things that I love in the life, and the laughs, the laughs. Amy Miller and Newin Briones, designers I met through Boyd, have helped me and as we work, we talk of him all the time. 62. Too darn young, too terribly young. We so wanted more of him. He was such a joy in my life.

Thirty-five years ago, I waltzed into a job that Boyd assumed was to be offered to him. He had worked diligently for the position and, despite his obvious disappointment, never expressed the slightest bit of animosity toward me or his other colleagues. On the contrary, Boyd enthusiastically welcomed and magnanimously introduced me into my new professional environment, sharing all of the relationships that he had developed and repeatedly lending assistance and advice to his new found...

My immaculate, creative friend will be missed.

The most twinkling of blue eyes, and magnetic smile, his heart was REAL AND PURE, filled with great intentions...and the first to help others. An Angel who tread where others dare not step, rest well and make sure you find us all a bijoux of a Star to shine upon in Heaven. Love you!

On behalf of the Gould family, I would like to extend my most sincere condolences to Boyds family. His smile was one of a kind and his love and caring for others were unsurpassed. . Your light will continue to shine brightly wherever you are. Peace be with you dear friend

So sorry to hear that Boyd has passed. I had the pleasure of working with him and he always had a smile on his face. He had a great sense of humor and always made people laugh. He could light up a room with his presence and had the ability to brighten anyone's day. He was kind and lovable. He will be missed and will always be remembered. May his soul rest in heaven.
