Ray Boyd Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Conway... Ray Gene Boyd, age 71, passed away on Monday, February 15, 2021. Ray was born June 21, 1949 in Conway, SC to loving parents of the late Vernon Jesse Boyd and the late Florine Watts Boyd Tadych. He attended Conway High School before choosing to enlist in the army. He served his country honorably and served one tour during the Vietnam War. After the war, Ray learned the trade of plumbing and was owner of Boyd's Plumbing until he retired in 2005. It wasn't until his later years of life when he received his new title of Poppa and Papie from his grandchildren. His greatest joy was spending time with them and watching them grow. Ray was preceded in death by both of his parents; Vernon and Florine and his brother, Glenn Vernon Boyd. To cherish his loving memory he leaves behind; his wife, Kathie Horne Boyd of Conway; two sons, Chadwick Boyd (Shay) of Myrtle Beach and Brandon Boyd (Giselle) of Prosper, TX; six grandchildren, Connor Boyd, Isabella Boyd, Austin Schultz, Savana Boyd, Holland Boyd and Bristol Boyd; and his sister-in-law, Judy Boyd of Conway. Ray had a close relationship with his pastor, Rev. David Watts who helped him with establishing a relationship of faith. We are grateful that he was able to accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior with his mentorship. Graveside services will be held Sunday, February 21 at 2:00 PM, Hillcrest Cemetery officiated by Rev. David Watts. The family will receive friends at the cemetery prior to the service at 1:30 PM.
