Jessica and Serg, you both have done an awesome job caring for and loving both Jessica’s parents. They could not have gotten care any better than you two and your kids have given to them. You have honored them both so much and we know you all will miss them greatly. Your folks were both so funny and we have a lot of fond memories of them both. Boyd was always willing to lend a hand. I remember a time at Emmanuel and we were getting very low for adult leaders in WOL and Boyd volunteered to help even though he wasn’t “called” to work with teens, he was so willing to lend a hand….he even volunteered Judy to help too. Needless to say, Judy was so surprised but she helped out as well. They both were always so kind and always had a smile to give. They both for sure will be missed by many.

Jessica and family lanny and I are praying for y’all.  Boyd was so sweet and helpful to anyone that needed anything.  He was a good sport when our church 
 Members had went to the passion play In Atlanta and  we pretended to have left him  at the rest area. We circled back around and picked him up. He just laughed. Yes, he was our go to guy to get candy at church.  Boyd  knew so much about the Bible. He was a true blessing.

Jessica and Sergio and family, we are praying for you all. Boyd was always so cheerful and talked to everyone and always had some candy on him in church. We will truly miss his smiles, but we know he's rejoicing with his Savior and probably strolling down the streets of gold with Judy, and Praise the Lord he's healed now. One time he drove the church van to Atlanta for a passion show  and on the way back he kept talking to Sonny and he drove faster n faster. You know he was a truck driver. And Judy would say slow down Boyd this isn't your big rig. 

We will miss Boyd at Emmanuel Baptist Church.He was a lived and faithful member as long as he was able.I have known him since high school close to 55 years now.
He will be missed.
Love and Prayers too his family
Linda and Joe Carroll

We send our condolences to the family. Boyd was a humble and peaceful man. Matthew 5:9 says, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." Gwen & JR

I loved my cousin Boyd. He always had a smile on his face and was so kind and caring. When my mother, his aunt Bonnie, passed away, he came straight to the hospital early in the morning to be with us.  Loved him. 

Jessica I love your mom and dad. I’m going to miss us calling each other on our birthdays. He never missed a birthday. He always called me. Mine was March 26 and his was March 27. 

I am going to miss you. You always looked under the hood of my car, checked the oil and made sure it didn't need changed. You taught me to leave those Fords alone😆.  I always looked forward to hearing "make us some coffee Annie".  I loved the night rides coming back from Carowinds and the oldies you played. I know me and Jess caused that beautiful white hair, but just know you were truly loved. You are the most humble and loving person I know. It's not good bye It's see you later..
