With deepest and heartfelt sympathy, you and your family are in our prayers. May God continue to surround you with strength and love.

Our sincere condolences to the Boyd family. We will keep you in our prayers.

Cheryl – there are no words to express what I want to you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and I will pray for you during this time. There are no words that express the emotion of such a horrific reality. I think of you often and now more some.

Love and Prayers,
Deb Hicks

Please accept my warm and heartfelt sympathy to the Boyd & Canzater family.

My deepest condolences to your family. Kevin, Jr. was so good to my three children when he was at NECUB. That smiling face and gentle manner with the children will always be with me. God is still on the throne and he will usher you through this. God Bless. Vanessa

This was a concert that featured local artist such as the Johnson Crew and Energetics also on the bill were a multitude of nationally rappers, djays and breakdancers. Kurtis Blow, BizzyB, Treacherous 4, SparkyD , Djay AJ, and others. It was our introduction to rap and hip hop and we experienced together that night. Weeks later we had come up with our own rap and rap group.

Thanksgiving Day Football Ross Field. Jumping off the Mattson Trolley and holding on to the back until we got to Ashmont, ow about getting zooted in Jeff’s Mercury Capri 5.0. Flying down cu!!ing highway listening to Scorpio by Melly Mel and grandmaster flash furious five so mega loud. I often harken back to those great times with glee remembering my good friend Kevin Boyd aka K.B. whom I will miss seeing in the square at Brothers restaurant and other familiar haunts that we frequented.
I was honored and blessed to be friends you Kevin Boyd Sr.
I Love You
God bless your family.

Yo Troy not sure if I know you? Kevin was a long time friend of mine. I believe he was the cousin of Eddie Boyd from fair lawn estates who was one of my best friends. Eddie taught me how to DJ as well as Earl Fisher(DJ KOOK) from rockdale road. Your really bringing back some old school memories to me of the early hip hop stuff I was introduced to as a white dude working in mattapan in a crucial time in the importance of hip hop music. I do not live there anymore but I still have so many friends that I still have lots of love for and that I still keep in touch with. You might know me from Mattapan Liquors maybe you don’t. Maybe you remember KOOK jamming in mattapan electrics parking lot on a Sunday afternoon and by the time he set up there were a few people hanging around and the next thing you know tons of people jamming. Sorry for babbling but those were the most awesome days of my life and they will always stay with me. Sorry for venting but Kevin was always a special person to me and I will never forget him. FOREVER REST IN PEACE KEVIN J. KB BOYD. And thank you Troy for sparking so many memories. R.I.P. my brother. Sincerely Jeffrey Perkins (MYTE WHITEY)

First, my condolences to Cheryl and the entire family. As I read others, I wonder if my memories are too small to mention, but they’re not. My memories of Kevin are so big and meaningful to me. Kevin who I’ve known since a teen was always so kind, funny and respectful to me. I remember when he did the deliveries for the pizza shop around our way. We would chat a bit when I walked by and he would always ask to hold my baby son. Fast forward to about 30 years later when my Mom passed in 2017, Kevin reached out to me but he didn’t just reach out, he really wanted to know if I was OK. Kevin was a solid, good, human being. He was a true good friend. I’m going to miss knowing that I had a true friend in him. I’m going to miss Kevin for the rest of my life.
Respectfully,
Stephani
