BOISE, IDAHO — Lee Roy Boyd, 65, former a resident of Ronan, passed away suddenly at the home of his sister, Janice in Boise, Idaho, on Dec. 2, 2022.
Lee was born on Jan. 20, 1957, in Polson to Kenneth and Bernice Boyd. He was the fifth of six children in the family.
Lee graduated from Ronan High School in 1975. He later graduated from Helena Vocational-Technical Center (now Helena College) studying Agri-mechanics.
Lee raised cattle and hay on the family farm west of Ronan for 40 years. He went with his dad a few times to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to watch the cattle being sold.
Lee enjoyed fishing, snowmobiling, and gold mining in Oregon with his sister and brother-in-law.
When the family farm was sold, he moved to Indian Valley, Idaho, to be near Janice. They traveled many miles in the motorhome with their two dogs. One memorable trip they took was a cruise to Alaska.
Lee was preceded in death by his parents; his brother; and his brother-in-law.
Lee is survived by his sister, Janice Adams; brothers, Neil (Linda), Robin (Debe), and Ivyl (Teresa); nieces, Jolene Boyd (Ron), Taylor and Kizer, Kendra Whitaker (Charles), Kaitlynn, Briahnna, and Coby; as well as many friends and cousins, and his faithful dog and companion Peya.
Services and burial are pending until spring at the Mountain View Cemetery in Ronan.
