Boyd attended Bosse High School and later graduated from North High School in 1960, earning a degree in Diesel Mechanics. His career was spent largely with Cummins, where he dedicated many years before retiring. A devoted and longtime member of the Chandler Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Boyd served his church community faithfully for nearly 50 years. Outside of work and church, he found great joy in deer hunting and spending time in nature.

He was the cherished grandfather of Logan Best (Yang), Evan Best (Amanda), Anna Marie Moore, and Audrey Moore. Boyd also leaves behind his sisters, Carol Robbins and Doris Jean Hall, along with a host of extended family and friends who will miss him dearly.
He was preceded in death by his beloved daughter, Lisa; his parents-in-law, Clinton and Ruth LeGrande; and his brother, Jack Moore.
