Columbus "Ken" Boyd

In Loving memory of Columbus K Boyd, 78, (1935 – 2014) from Green Cove Springs, FL (aka Ken/The Orange Man to everyone that knew him) lost his battle to cancer on Thursday, January 30th. He died peacefully, surrounded by his family. He was preceded by his wife June H Boyd and son Kenneth N Boyd. He is survived by his 3 daughters, Karen Neisser (David), Sara Maddox (Dewey) and Alda Markowski (Lonnie); 5 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren and 10 siblings. He loved bluegrass music and could play any instrument given to him; he was extremely talented with his hands and was always making unique and adorable things, and enjoyed fixing small engines, shooting pool and playing bingo. He was a quiet, strong, yet gentle man and would go out of his way to help others and never wanted anything in return. He will be greatly missed and live forever in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. Funeral services will be held Wednesday, February 5, 2014 at 11:00 am in the Broadus-Raines Chapel with Minister Claude McEldowney officiating.
