Walter "Joe" BoydMANSFIELD: With family members by his side, Walter "Joe" Boyd of Mansfield, Ohio peacefully went home to be with his Savior January 30, 2017 at Majora Lane Nursing Facility in Millersburg, Ohio after a long battle with dementia. Joe was born on January 27, 1935 in Vanceburg, Kentucky and then as he put it - learned reading, writing, and route 23 - and moved to Mansfield to find better opportunities where he later retired from General Motors. Joe is survived by his children, spouse, sister, grandkids, nephews, nieces, and friends.Joe or "Saddle" as he was nicknamed, lived life one day at a time as it came to him. He would always say you are only as old as you think you are and he lived his life as an eighteen-year-old kid. He loved going "back home" to Kentucky and would take many of his friends to ride ATV's on the trails. Joe also loved motorcycles and rode his various Harley's from coast to coast. He never met a stranger, and could work his way in and out of any situation life presented to him. Everybody that Joe ever met could tell you a funny story about him and he loved to make people laugh. He would tell jokes that nobody had ever heard, and he would also tell jokes you had heard but in a way that would make you laugh again and again. He was a one of a kind, and everybody loved Joe.Over the years, Joe would say the phrase "Color Me Gone". With that in mind, we love you and miss you already Dad, Joe, Saddle, Brother, Uncle, Papa. Our hearts are broken, but with a life full of memories to color with, we "Color You Gone".The family will have a memorial with family and friends in Vanceburg, Kentucky this spring. Memorial contributions can be made to Life Care Hospice in Millersburg, Ohio.
You can to the family or in memory of Walter Boyd.
