My prayers and deepest condolences to the family, friends and local community. Mr. James "Bubba Boy" Boyd was an important and influential figure in the kitchen community.

We send our deepest condolences to you. May God give you comfort and peace during this difficult time. Our prayers are with you.

Peace and Blessings, Keli Walls and family

Beloved Boyd Family, We celebrate the life of beloved Mr. James "Bubba" Boyd as we endearingly knew him. He was a friend and extended family to us, among our Village Fathers. My parents, Herbert and Margaret, could count on him as a trusted and loyal friend in the many years on the West End. He was always welcoming, always of good spirit with an infectious smile. Bubba Boyd gave our family the best haircuts ever in the old-fashioned way. Surely, many came in contact with him through the barber shop and with their daily newspaper as Bubba Boyd was a T&D carrier - a man with high work ethics. He was beloved and we fondly remember his as a blessing to our lives. May you sleep well Mr. James "Bubba" Boyd as we extend our sincere condolences to your family. Lovingly remembered and never forgotten, The Cummings Family

Sending love in honor of your father. The Clarks and Marshalls know that you will find peace living his wonderful legacy of Excellence.

Love you and our deepest condolences.
