Our Superman Forever and Always!!!

David has gone Home.

Early this morning, in Lisa's arms, David peacefully passed away.

As I'm sure we are all feeling, I'd like to run over and wrap this family in my arms, but at this point they have requested no visitors. Please respect their need for space and time to grieve. Messages of love and support can be posted to the weloveteamboyd blog.

I will send more information out about funeral arrangements and memorials services as they become available.

But, for now, I ask that you offer up a prayer of thanksgiving for the amazing, inspirational life of David Boyd and continued prayers for strength and peace for his family.

God bless,
Kim

My heart hurts for this precious family. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing David well, but it is so apparent the positive impact he has made on so many people. I know he will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.

Praying for the whole Boyd family during this difficult time. I didn't know David well, in fact, I didn't know him at all. But, he touched so many lifes that I heard about him often and it is obvious that he was an amazing man. Many people this morning, wheather they knew him or not, are missing his presense here on Earth.

I am praying for God's comfort to the Boyd Family during this difficult time. God has taken home a special angel today. Unfortunately, I never got to know David personally. I attended RCHS in the early 90's and everyone knew who the Boyd brother's were. They were very well liked and admired by many. I will continue to pray for all of David's family.

I am so so sorry to hear of David's passing. I only recently learned he was so ill. While I haven't spoken to David since high school, I have a fond memory of him that comes to mind from time to time. We had history class together (either junior or senior year), and we used to chat and crack jokes. One day he told me to come watch him in the back of the room. He did a back flip in the air and landed right on his feet! It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen, and I've obviously never forgotten it. I only wish I would have reminded him of this memory sooner.

It's quite apparent how many lives David has touched, and I'm so sorry to all of you for your loss. He was a cool dude. Learning of his battle and passing has inspired me to be less afraid of things in my own life that really aren't that scary or important.

Wishing much comfort to all of you in this painful time.

When I took off my teamboyd wrist band last night after praying for David and all of you, I never expected to wake up to the news that David was home. May all of you find peace and know that you have the love and support of so many. What an inspiration to all of us you guys have been and for that I will be forever grateful. Love you all. camilla

I Icannot imagine your grief, and I know that words alone cannot heal pain, but please know we all share your burden of sorrow and we hope to "lift you up" and carry you through. Our family is praying for you and wants you to know that you are on all of our minds, today, for the last several months and always

I have watched your struggle from a distance but have prayed for you throughout the last few months. There is no doubt where David Boyd is right now. He is with our heavenly Father. He will live on forever thru memories and his precious children. There is no telling how many people who have been touched by the struggles of your family in the last year. I know I have and I will continue to pray for the Boyd family.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you and whispered "come with me".

With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away, and though we love you dearly, we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands were put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us....

He only takes the best.

RIP David. May God wrap his arms around your family and hold them close from now and forever.

Yesterday January 3, I saw a man wearing a Superman t-shirt. I began to think about David and his courageous battle against cancer. I told my son who is 11 all about David and how we must appreciate everyday together. I am so grateful to have met David and to witness his love for his wife and children. God bless them.
