Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 14, 2016.

Francis Phillip “Frank” Boyd, Jr., 56, of Grapevine passed away on Sunday, November 13, 2016 in Plano.



He was born to Francis Phillip Boyd, Sr., and Frances Piso Boyd on July 16, 1960 in Boston, MA. Frank attended Archbishop Williams High School and graduated from Norwich University. He served as an Air Force Law Enforcement Specialist and was honored with the Air Force Organizational Excellence Award among others. Professionally, he was a Sales Counselor with Highland Homes, LLC. Frank was an avid golfer and enjoyed reading motivational books as well as teaching instructional or motivational classes to others. His desire was to be remembered as someone who had a positive impact, whether it be with one of his students in the many classes he taught throughout the years or a client. Most importantly, Frank wanted to have a positive impact on his family and friends.

Pam and family, I can't imagine the devastation you're experiencing with the loss of Frank. He truly was one of the "good guys" in life who displayed an upbeat and optimistic attitude and was always flashing that million dollar smile! I feel truly blessed to have known him and my heart aches to know I won't have the pleasure anymore of seeing him. He had a positive influence on all who knew him and I am thankful I was fortunate to be one of those people. Our prayers will be for peace and understanding for you and your entire family.
