James Boyd
James "Jim" E. Boyd, age 87, of Fort Recovery, Ohio, passed away on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, at his home.
He was born on July 17, 1938, in Portland, Indiana to the late Harold and Maxine (Shumaker) Boyd.
In addition to his parents, Jim was preceded in death by his stepmother, Agnes (Sortor) Boyd; and his brothers, Larry Boyd, Bob Portz, Rick Portz.
Jim is survived by his children, Roxanne (Kevin) McCloskey of Dayton, Mike (Marsha) Boyd of Union City, Indiana, and Sheila (Gregg) Pierce of South Carolina; his 4 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren, 2 great-great grandchildren; his siblings, Jeff (Diane) Boyd of South Bend, Indiana, Patty Hunter of Florida, Stan Boyd of South Bend, Indiana, and Steve Boyd of South Bend, Indiana, Joe (Debbie) Portz of Celina; his sister-in-law, Kathy Portz of Fort Recovery.
Jim was a graduate of Fort Recovery High School. After graduation, Jim enlisted in the United States Army, where he served his country honorably. Throughout his life, he remained active in his community and valued the friendships he built along the way. He was a member of the Fort Recovery VFW, Fort Recovery American Legion, Mercer County Elks, and the Celina Moose. Jim enjoyed the fellowship these organizations provided, and the many memories made there.
