Howard A. Boyd, age 81, of Richlands, Virginia, passed away on Monday, November 10, 2025, at the Commonwealth Assisted Living Home in Cedar Bluff, Virginia.
Howard was born in Richlands, Virginia, on April 9, 1944, to the late Sherman Arthur Boyd and Ruby Jane Webb Boyd. He was a Richlands High School graduate and spent most of his years supervising the Koch Raven coal prep plant until he retired. Shortly after, he began working at F-S Investigations when retirement became too boring. He also worked as a repo man from time to time. If he wasn't working, he could be found on the golf course with his best friends, where he enjoyed playing rounds for quarters on the hole.
Howard was a loving father, grandfather, and friend to all who knew him.
Those left to cherish his memory are:
Daughter, Michele Koger of Cedar Bluff, VA
Son, Chris Boyd, and his wife, Heather, of Vinton, VA
Grandchildren:
Josh Deel of Bluefield, VA
Katie Koger of Richlands, VA
Evan Boyd
A host of family and friends also survive.
The family of Howard A. Boyd will honor his wishes to be cremated.
Hurst Scott Funeral Home in Richlands is in charge of the arrangements. Those wishing to express sympathy may do so at www.hurstscottfunerlahomes.com
