His commitment to the well-being of his community was commendable, reflecting his selfless nature.

Boyce is survived by his beloved son, Boyce Putman, III, and loving daughter-in-law, Tammy Putman, along with his cherished son, Martin Putman, and caring daughter-in-law, Laura Putman. Boyce will also be lovingly remembered by his grandchildren, Brock Putman and his wife, Renee Putman, Breana Shepard and her husband, Matt Shepard, Brittany Putman, and Bryan Putman. His great-grandchildren, Mason Putman, Gunner Shepard, Oaklynn Shepard, and Dawson Shepard, will forever cherish the memories they shared with their adoring great-grandfather.

In addition to his parents, Boyce was preceded in death by his loving wife of 66 years, Betty Putman; grandson, Brayden Putman; sisters, Joyce Gooding, Dorothy Kerns and Doris Henson; and brothers, George Putman, Robert Putman and Walter Putman.
