Rodney "Kent" Boyd of Ontario, Ohio, passed away Saturday, December 12, 2020, at his home at the age of 74. He was born July 21, 1946, in Huntington, West Virginia, to the late John Ellis and Norma Belinda (Howell) Boyd.
Kent retired as CFO from DESCO Federal Credit Union in Portsmouth, Ohio, having worked there over a span of 40 years. He was proud and deliberate in everything he did. To his friends and family, he will always be remembered for his dry sense of humor, quick wit and great command of language - forever telling stories and jokes, making them laugh. He loved cooking on the grill, a good bourbon and was always up for a good discussion on topics close to his heart - such as Marshall University Football. During quiet times he enjoyed a good game of cards or doing a tough crossword.
He is survived by his wife, Catherine Hutchison Boyd; two sons, Anthony Joseph Boyd of Huntington, WV, and Jonathan Bradley (Sarah) Boyd of Hurricane, WV; four grandchildren, Pierce, Parker, Madison and Bradley Boyd; two step children, Christina Jennifer (Adrian) Widdop of Birmingham, England and Michael Wesley (Chelsea) Garrett of Palm Beach Gardens, FL; five step grandchildren, Landon, Campbell and Annora Widdop, and Austin and Owen Garrett. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Dale Boyd; and a sister, Waulene Clark.
