John Boynton Obituary
John was born on Nov. 25, 1967, in Concord to Robert and Janice Boynton. He graduated from Goffstown Area High School in 1986 then attended Manchester Technical College in 1986 and 1987 with a study in automotive technology. He married Alicia Ann Goddard, his soulmate, in 1988. After moving to Webster, John began working within the many demanding aspects of automotive diagnostics and repair. John was accomplished with many talents. He often delighted others with his storytelling, music and culinary creations. An avid outdoorsman and advocate of agriculture, John also volunteered much of his time, experience and knowledge to the Independent Success 4-H Club in Dunbarton and the Merrimack County Oxbows 4-H Club.
John is survived by his wife, Alicia, and two children, Rebecca of Concord and John of Webster, his mother, Janice Boynton, of Dunbarton, and his brother, Robert Boynton Jr., of Dunbarton. He is preceded in death by father, Robert Boynton, of Dunbarton.
A graveside service will be held Sept. 19 at 11 a.m. at Corser Hill Cemetery, Webster, with a reception to immediately follow at Webster Town Hall. Pastor Jorgen Strycharz will officiate the ceremony. All are welcome to attend and celebrate John's life.

I only just met John at his daughter's wedding for the very first time. I took a video of him singing. He seemed shy and was so talented. I was lucky to meet such a man who was such a big part of a loving, kind family. Rest in Peace John
