A native of Lafayette and resident of Rayne, Kelvin touched the lives of many, both in his professional career and in his personal life. His proudest accomplishment was being owner/operator of B.E.S.T. (Boyer's Equipment Services & Technology); however, his proudest title came from his grandchildren, who called him "Sweets". Kelvin was outgoing and never met a stranger. Many would say he had a heart of gold and would give anyone the shirt off of his back. Some of his hobbies included hunting, fishing and playing cards. Although Kelvin had many interests in life, his passion in life was providing for his family. He will be deeply missed and memories of him will be cherished by all who knew him. Survivors include his daughter, Skye Boyer Bourgeois and her husband, Scott; his son, Kelvin "Kelby" James Boyer II; the love of his life, Monica Boyer; his sisters, Pauline Breaux and her husband, Doyle, Sonya Wells and her husband, William, and Lucy Savoie; his brothers, Danny Boyer and his wife, Tina, Ronald "Radar" Boyer and his wife, Glenda, and Brian Boyer, and his grandchildren, Lyla, Audrey and Brooks Bourgeois and numerous god-children, nieces and nephews. Kelvin was preceded in death by his father and mother, Paul and Sylvia "Boo" Arceneaux Boyer; his brothers, Kenny and Billy Boyer. Pallbearers will be Ken Lejeune, Randall Breaux, Christopher Breaux, Brady Boyer, Jeremy Boyer, and Joby Boyer. Honorary Pallbearers will be William Wells, Doyle Breaux and Rene Savoie.
