REMEMBERING DWIGHT BOYD
______
HON. TROY A. CARTER
of louisiana
in the house of representatives
Thursday, October 21, 2021
Mr. CARTER of Louisiana. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and remember Dwight Boyd, a son of Louisiana, who transitioned to his eternal heavenly rest late night on Saturday, October 16, 2021.
He was at peace in his final moments beside his loving families.
He was 65 years old.
As the oldest of six, Dwight's family was always at the center of his world.
His brother Glynn Boyd, one of my dearest friends, looked up to his older brother and recounted many stories from his life.
He shared how Dwight was the first to get a part-time job at Winn-
Dixie, and that even as a young man, Dwight always made sure to give all his siblings gifts during the holidays.
Friends remember him graciously blessing them through his angelic voice when singing at church, in weddings, or at the 50-yard line during a high school football game.
Dwight, known by childhood friends as earning the title of Mr. Higgins High School, shined a light on everyone he encountered.
He loved the New Orleans Saints, celebrating Christmas with family, music, and politics.
He made lifelong friends that described him as being the pillar of the community.
My thoughts are with Dwight's loving family, friends, and neighbors as they reel with this loss.
Rest easy, and may God bless his memory.
