Keith Boyd

Keith T. Boyd, 60, of North Little Rock lost his battle with Hodgkins on March 13, 2008. He was born January 24, 1948 in Gustine, California to the late Bart Boyd and Lawuna Dupzyk. Keith moved to North Little Rock from California when he was 18 years old and became respected and cherished by so many in the community. Keith was known by his abundant friends and family to be kind hearted, extremely honorable and quick witted. He was generous to a fault, often helping out mere strangers who were in need. Everyone knew they could always depend on him. Keith especially enjoyed racing season at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs. He also enjoyed shooting pool, golfing, country music and makings trips to Tunica, Mississippi. He is survived by his wife of over 40 years, Lois Boyd (NLR) and two daughters Tami Chudy, wife of Ronald Chudy (Mabelvale) and Tonya Lazzara (Tulsa, OK). He had one granddaughter, Stevie Marie Lazzara. He had two half-sisters, Carla Dias and Lyrae Nascimento of California and step-father, John Dupzyk.
A very special thanks to Dr. Stephen Holt and Donna Crowder, (P.A.) who cared for him for over 35 years. Also, Dr. Ira Gershner who showed extreme compassion to Keith and his family in his final days.
