Boyd Lee Brown, 72, of Frankford, WV, departed his earthly home at Bo-De Farm to join his Lord and Savior, on July 19th, 2025.

He was born August 24, 1952 in Ronceverte, WV to the late Byrl Boyd and JoAnn Adams Brown. He was a graduate of Greenbrier East High School and attended West Virginia University.

Boyd was a member of the Frankford Presbyterian Church and attended the Frankford United Methodist Church where he participated in the charge choir, the Men's Fellowship group, and served as the Chairman of the Church Council.

He was a dairy and beef farmer most of his life, but also skilled in the construction and horticulture industries. Boyd held memberships with the Frankford Ruritan Club, WV Farm Bureau, Lewisburg Elks Club, Greenbrier Masonic Lodge # 42 AF & AM, as well as a Beni Kedem Shriner. Boyd was passionate about local youth sport and civic organizations, agriculture, gardening, golf, faith and friends, but his love for his family remained the center of his life.

In addition to his parents, Boyd was preceded in death by his son, Butler Boyd Brown, and his brother Clarence Wayne "C.W." Brown.

Those left to cherish his memories are his devoted wife and caretaker of 46 years, Deborah Ames Brown and daughter, Sara Brown (Shane Johnson) of Frankford, WV; daughter-in-law, Letisha "Tish" Cole Brown and his cherished grandson and best little buddy, Griffin Butler Brown, of Morgantown, WV; sisters, Valerie Warren (Ralph "Chub") of Lewisburg, WV, and Robin Hall (Darrell) of Pfafftown, NC; brothers Rodney Brown (Susan) of Deerfield Beach, FL, Terry Brown (Evelyn) and Brian Brown of Frankford, WV; sister-in-law Amy Brown Pence (Greg Pence) of Ocala, FL; along with numerous beloved nieces, nephews and cousins.
