SOLOMON TODD BOYD JR

Solomon Todd Boyd Jr., a kind spirit with a heart of gold, passed away on September 7, 2025, in Shreveport, Louisiana. Born on August 15, 1961, in Dallas, Texas, Solomon’s journey through life was marked by kindness, honor, and an unwavering love for his family and country.

A licensed electrician by trade, Solomon dedicated his career to ensuring safety and comfort for those around him. His work was a testament to his commitment not just to his craft, but also to the well-being of his community. Beyond his professional achievements, Solomon was a proud U.S. Army veteran, serving his country with integrity and valor. His military service shaped the man he became—a true hero in every sense of the word.

Solomon was a high school graduate whose proudest accomplishments included not only his service in the military but also his cherished role within a loving family. He was deeply connected to his siblings, nieces, nephews, and a host of other relatives who adored him. His warmth and affection for his family were evident to all who knew him, as was their steadfast love for him.
