Andrew "Joe" Boyd

Andrew “Joe” Boyd, age 86, passed away peacefully on June 30, 2025.

Joe was born on October 20, 1938. He built a successful career running his own painting business, known for his hard work, honesty, and craftsmanship. Beyond his professional work, Joe found great joy in artistic pursuits — he had a passion for painting and drawing, often spending quiet hours bringing scenes and ideas to life on canvas and paper.

An avid fan of westerns, Joe enjoyed watching his favorite films and shows, drawn to their stories of courage, loyalty, and adventure. He was a man of deep faith and was a longtime member of the Methodist Church, where he found fellowship and strength.

Joe’s gentle nature, warm smile, and generous spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
