I worked with Keith for nearly 2 years and he made an impression on me almost immediately. I am glad that I got the opportunity to work with him and his amazing mind.

It is said that God doesn't give us more burden than we can handle. I personnally do not believe that. I believe we frequently get more than we can handle. I do, however, believe he gives us his grace and we find comfort and the strength to get through each painful day with family, friends, and those who love and support us. In this tragedy it is very easy to forget that there will be healing for this pain. With it will come a time when we can celebrate Keith's life and not dwell on his death. My prayer and hope for all of us that the time will be soon.

I had the opportunity to work with Keith on a few projects at Perry Crabb. In the short time I have known him, I could tell he was a kind, gentle, and caring person. My prayers go out to his family, and especially his daughter, Bridget, whom he loved so very much. I pray the Boyd family finds peace during and after this horrible tragedy.

My heart goes out to all of Keith's family. He was a great guy with a gentle manner, always kind and considerate of his co-workers. I will miss him! It is a testament to Keith how much this tragedy has effected the clients with whom he worked, too, and how deep their regrets and feelings for Keith have been expressed. It's amazing the effect one kind person can have. May God bless & strengthen all of Keith's family!

I feel the world has lost a great deal with the taking of Keith's life. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. I take comfort in the belief that he will still watch over his family and will be there to greet them with open arms when they make their journey to the next life. May you feel his presence with you and be comforted by it.

Always cheerful and a depth of character I had begun to know, I will miss Keith. We often traveled to Athens or Boaz togehter when we would enjoy the conversations and time together. There is comfort for me and I hope for his family to know he made a difference in the lives of so many through his work as an engineer and in those that had the opportunity to know him. May God bless you and comfort your spirit.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Boyd family. Keith was the consumate southern gentlemen; soft-spoken, polite and charming. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him and to have been his friend. He and Bridget joined us for the Peking Acrobats performance last May. He so adored his little daughter. He was a lovely man who will be long remembered.

How do we begin to express our sorrow at the loss of a friend. Keith was always a joy to work with as he was always willing to give his best in trying to meet the customers needs. Keith was one of those gentle spirits that made life fun.All of us at St. Mary's Hospital want to say that we are sadden by our loss of a friend and co-worker. May God grant each of you peace during this time.

Keith was one of my favorite people. I have lost folks close to me before, but never have I been so shocked. He was a very caring man. He was a source of encouragement to me while I was pregnant and on my own. He always asked me how I was and after my son was born, he always asked about him. He complimented me on how well I worked here and how much he appreciated what I did for him. I never heard him speak a harsh word against anyone. I hurt for him, his daughter, and the rest of his family. I pray that you may find some peace and closure to this horrible tragedy. I pray that you may have the strength to heal and to carry on - Keith would want you to - cry for him, but never forget his smile. I will always remember Keith and will keep him close to my heart. God love you all.

Prayers of comfort and peace during this tragic time are being said for the entire Boyd family. Keith was a wonderful man, full of life and a great love for his family, especially his beautiful daughter Bridget. May God's loving arms scoop her up, as well as his entire family, and continue to provide the comfort and hope for a peaceful tomorrow. I consider myself blessed by God for the opportunity of meeting, knowing, and working with Keith. He was such a pleasure to work with, always loving and kind. He will be missed but not gone forever. His joyous spirit will be etched into the hearts of everyone at Perry, Crabb & Associates throughout time. May God's awesome power of peace and understanding rain down over you all as you begin a new chapter in your lives, without our beloved Keith.
