I will forever remember my Uncle Rufus for his scholarly and philosophical words of wisdom. He was always be an inspiration to me. Rest in peace, Uncle.

My Daddy, My Hero, My Sugar! My Heart is Hurting so Bad, but I know that God will Heal This Pain. You were my Protector and My Best Friend, I could always count on you for sound Counsel. You were a Bible Scholar and Extraordinary teacher of God's Word. So many People looked to you for Answer to the Questions of the BIBLE.I reflect on the last time we were together, and I asked you what you wanted for Father Day? You said I will get back to you, and I waited for your answer.That answer never came, and Fathers Day will never be the same. We would always go to your Favorite Restaurant ( Red Lobster), and you enjoyed your favorite meal( Admirals Feast with Cheddar Biscuits). I Loved the Quality Time spent with you Dad! I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER❤ YOU ARE THE GREATEST DAD EVER💛

Our deepest condolences go out to my favorite childhood cousins, Phillip, Charles, Priscilla and Shawn. Uncle Rufus was my favorite uncle growing up and he will truly be missed. May God be with our Family during these trying times and may God Bless You All..

Love 
James, Angela and Christanya

My Father in Law was the Most Intelligent and Strong Men I knew. He was a Wealth of Knowledge in God's Word, and I absolutely was Blessed to have him a Part of my Life. He Loved and Protected my Wife Priscilla, and made me Earn his Trust, because he had to know that I would do right by his Baby Girl. And I Enjoyed his Quick Wit, always keeping you on your toes. I Will Miss You Pops, You are a Great Man! I Love You and Thank God for the Example you set for all of us to  Immulate! There will be a Great Void in our Lives, and Noone can fill it! I Pray your Soul is
 at Rest❤

My uncle always had a smile and was very astute in the word of God. I would even say he was a scribe who studied the scriptures daily.

Me and my Dad had a great relationship during the time that I spent with him. We went on many fishing expedition as a young boy, late at night on fishing piers,in the flats around town. I was always amazed about how much knowledge he possessed about fishing. He used the most difficult rod and reel called a spinning reel. He taught me to fish and how to scale and gut our catch and how to prep for eating. The most vivid memory I have is one fishing expi we were wading in the water while it was raining. What was so memorial able was that we caught a lot of fish that day. Indeed yes he loved fishing, but also had fervor and  love for  the word of God. So yes my father my Dad will be sorely missed.!!!! I Loved my Dad

Deacon Rufas Boyd was my dad’s first cousin. He lived up to the nickname “Sugar“. He was a kind and Holy man. I will always remember how nice he was to my family and friends. He always called me by my name whenever he greeted me.I will never forget him as long as I live. His shoes will be hard to fill. RIH cousinꨄ

Mr. Rufus Boyd is my Father-In-Law. He was an EXCEPTIONAL man of God. Not only that, he was a faithful man that he passed on to his sons. Phillip W. Boyd, my husband as followed in the some footsteps of his father. 

He and Phillip would talk for HOURS on the phone. Phillip for sure LOVED his Father!

I thank God for allowing him to be on this earth a very long time. Now he is SAFE in the Arms of Jesus.

See you later Daddy Boyd!
