Whitfield Rudolph Boyd

February 26, 1987 - February 1, 2025

Whitfield Rudolph Boyd, age 37, passed away on February 1, 2025, in Florence, South Carolina, after a long battle with substance addiction. He was born on February 26, 1987 in Florence.

Whitfield will be remembered by all who knew him for his kind heart and deep love for his family. He is survived by his loving parents, Lynn and Wayne "Hootie" Boyd; and brother, Coleman Boyd (Heather). He also leaves behind his nephew, Drake Boyd; niece, Charlotte Boyd; uncle, Whit Willcox (Cindy); aunts, Lela Joseph and Gail Marlow; and many other relatives.

Whitfield was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Delmar and Annabell Boyd; his maternal grandparents, Rudy and Shirley Willcox; his uncle, Paul Joseph; and his aunt, Debbi Campolong. These beloved family members will always remain in our hearts.

Throughout his life, Whitfield was known for his strong sense of family and dedication to those he loved. His kind spirit and willingness to help anyone in need will live on in the hearts of those lucky enough to have known him. His unique ability to light up the room with his presence will be deeply missed.

A memorial service honoring Whitfield's life will be held at 12:00 noon on Thursday, February 13, 2025, at Waters-Powell Funeral Home in Florence, with visitation one hour prior to the service.

So very sorry for your loss of this so loved young man. Knowing his fight is over and he is in heaven at peace now may give you some comfort. Someone so loved is never gone-we carry them in our hearts forever. This was given to me from a friend when I lost my son under these circumstances. Much thoughts and prayers for you.
