Alexander Walter Boyd

Passed away peacefully on December 4th, 2018 at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital with his loving wife Molly by his side.

Born in Victoria to Peggy and Cecil Boyd, he lived most of his life in Vernon, though 14 memorable years were spent in Whistler.

Sandy lived with passion and love for his family, friends and those that surrounded him. With a wry sense of humor and puns, he was a visionary, an entrepreneur, a cowboy, sawyer, homesteader and an eternal optimist, trusting that everything will work itself out.

Survived by wife and best friend Molly, daughters Heather (Keith), Susan (Eric), and Sandra (Eric), son Rob (Sherry). Predeceased by son Ian. Also survived by 11 grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

Funeral service will take place at 2:00pm, December 14 at the All Saints Anglican Church, 3205 – 27th Street.

In lieu of flowers, donations would be appreciated to the All Saints Centennial Hall Repair. 3205 27th St. Vernon, BC V1T 4W8

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming:

“Wow – what a ride!”
