Denny, the beloved son of Alice Ilene Boyd and Handy N. Boyd (deceased), was born May 20, 1960. He graduated from Shelby High School in 1979 and from North Central State College with an Associate's Degree.
After high school, he worked at Westinghouse and other businesses before launching into real estate for the past thirty years -- first at Musgrove Realty and then at Sluss Realty where he has provided exceptional service to both buyers and sellers.
He loved trucks, cars, lawn mowers, tractors (especially John Deere tractors) -- basically anything that can be driven.
Denny will be dearly missed by his mother, Alice “Ilene” Boyd and sister Yvonne Boyd (Wayne Wells), Aunt Hazel Creasy and cousins.
