David Boyd, 57,, has passed away, leaving behind a family and community who loved him dearly.
These are the contours of a life that meant a great deal to many.
David's story began in 1957, and unfolded across the years that followed.
David spent his working life as ['salesman with Vita Mix and returned to Hurley'] and held deeply to the Catholic faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew him best.
There is a discipline of duty that shapes a life long after the uniform is set aside.
