He was predeceased by his son, Randy Boyd, and his siblings Clifton, Robert, Charles, James I. Sr., Shirley Boyd Tribbitt, and Hazel Boyd Kibler.

Allen spent 60 happy years with his loving wife, Cynthia Boyd and treasured his family, daughter: Marsha Saathoff (John) grandchildren: Julie MacDonald (Anthony), Allan Saathoff, (fiance' Adyson Helms), Mary Boyd, great-granddaughter: Lennox MacDonald.
