Though I really never liked the guy (thanks to his less than flattering cable TV show), I still feel saddened for his loss. Hopefully Boyd's family will be able to recover from their unfortunate loss and keep Boyd's legacy alive...

Agreed. To me he came across as a bit of an *** on the show, but I wonder if that's how he really was. Anyway, his death is quite a shock...

Ditto from me too. His way of talking to employees via screaming and shouting made him lose good people (Charlie the painter, Mike the wheel guy). It is sad that he isn't here anymore. RIP Boyd!!

According to a news article I read this morning, Boyd was hospitalized after a fall about a month ago. A few days later he was re-admitted to the hospital after complaining about complications.During that visit he went in for some kind of emergency surgery. Nobody seems to know exactly what he was hospitalized for...

Hot rodders will miss him.
He did come off as a bit of a PR^!k on his show. But he also did alot for his guys. You don't become a millioniare by being a "nice Guy" most of the time!
Rest in Peace Boyd!
