Boyce worked for the U.S. Postal Service for more than 25 years and made many friends along his mail route.
He was loved and respected by all who knew him, had a gentle and kind spirit, and always found something nice to say about everyone. He was sought after as a peacemaker and counselor. Most of all, he loved his God, his church, and his family. A member of the North Heights Church of Christ, he served as an elder for 35 years.
He loved to sing and had a beautiful tenor voice. Some of his favorite times were family gatherings where hymnals were brought out and voices were raised in praise.
