William Glenn Boyd

William Glenn Boyd, Sr., 81, entered into his eternal rest on Thursday, August 8, 2024, at the University of Kentucky Hospital after a brief illness.

William, affectionately known as “Bee,” was born on October 29, 1942, to the late Joe Thomas, Sr., and Maggie Burns Boyd. After relocating to Lexington, the Boyd family moved to the Smithtown neighborhood, where they were well known and loved, attending Fayette County public schools. Bee accepted Christ at an early age and was a lifelong devoted member of the Pilgrim Baptist Church.

Bee was a bricklayer by trade, building lots of homes in the Lexington area before a long career as a driver with Sallee Horse Vans. He enjoyed fishing, watching his grandkids play sports, sitting on his porch with his family and friends, and hanging at the Barbershop.

Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Robert “Bobby,” Charles “Pap,” Joe “June,” and David Boyd.

He leaves to cherish his precious memories: his wife, Betty Boyd; three children, Scherer, William, Jr., and Felice Boyd; six grandchildren, Shane (Mistie), Aaron, Karmari, Jasmine, Donovan, and Shelby Boyd; two great-grandchildren, Braven and Kashel Boyd; siblings, Charles “PeeWee,” Rosalene “Lucy” Bobbitt, Glenna “Tee” Sanderlyn, Bonnie, Vina “Ann,” Stella, Anthony “Booga,” and Lenora “Baby Cakes” Boyd; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
