Shad's uncle Boyd returned to his Father in Heaven on Friday night (Jan. 23rd). He suffered from the painful and debilitating effects of diabetes for many years. The last few months his body was worn down by the disease. The last two weeks he and his family knew that he didn't have very much time left. The effects of the disease reached a point where there was nothing else that could be done for him. His brother (and I am not sure who else) was with him when he died. His sweet parents Lafe and Rayma (grandpa and grandma) made many trips from Preston, Id to Logan to care for their precious son. Boyd was born March 13, 1960. He left behind his four children, two grandchildren, his parents, his three brothers and two sisters.
When Shad and I went up to Idaho for Grandpa and Grandma's 60th wedding anniversary Boyd was in a medical bed. He wasn't able to walk or really move, but he still had a smile on his face, asked us how we were doing and didn't complain once about his situation or pity himself. He was an outstanding man and was an example to all who came into contact with him. We will miss you (until we meet again)!

I am so sorry for your loss. I had the good fortune of being Boyd's nurse at LNR since May. He was truly a great man. I am sorry that I will not be able to see him when I work anymore. May the spirit be with your family at this time.

It's so sad but so good in a way.. He doesn't have to suffer no more and he can walk with jesus and heavenly father now... He will be greatly missed and loved.... You are right until we meet again....
