LEXINGTON – Jean Bryant Boyd, Jr. passed away peacefully surrounded by all of his family on Friday, March 29, 2019, at Lexington Extended Care. He was the son of Jean Bryant, Sr. and Gertrude Mayer Boyd.
Jean had a long-time career in broadcasting at WIS, ETV, and WOLO. He retired from WOLO and then went to work part-time for the Lexington County Court House as a Bailiff. Music was an important part of his life. He sang in church choirs and was a member of the Columbia Choral Society and a charter member of the Lexington Choral Society. He was an avid Gamecock fan and, before declining health prevented it, never missed a home game.
He is survived by his loving and caring wife of 38 years, Myra C. Boyd; his brother, Ben Boyd; his brothers-in-law, Russell Corley (Shelia) and Jerry Corley (Barbara); niece, Heather Corley; nephews, Heath Corley (Angie), Blakely Boyd (Shannon), and Bryant Boyd (Tiffany); great nephews, Dalton Corley, Dylan and Nathan Boyd; and great niece, Julianna Boyd. He had so many loving children that have touched his life.
