Boyce Linder
It is with heavy hearts and profound gratitude for a life fully lived that we announce the passing of Boyce, affectionately known to many as “Brother”, who left us on September 2, 2026, at the age of 66.
Boyce was a force of nature—a man whose wild spirit, fierce loyalty, and boundless energy left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to cross his path. To his friends and peers, he was the embodiment of brotherly love: the first to show up in a crisis and a steadfast anchor for those he considered his chosen family. He lived life at full throttle, embracing the unpredictable and finding joy in the untamed edges of the world.
Though his path wasn’t always straight, the truest measure of Boyce’s character was found in the grace of his later years. With immense courage, humility, and an open heart, he sought to heal old wounds. He worked tirelessly to mend strained bridges, returning to his children with a deep, abiding presence. The relationships he rekindled became his proudest achievement and greatest joy, proving that it is never too late to become the father his children needed and deserved.
Above all, his heart remained tethered to the love of his life, Donna, the mother of his children, who passed away two years ago. His enduring love for her was forged through raising a family and weathering life's storms together. While her absence left a quiet ache in his world, there is profound comfort in knowing they are reunited once more, along with his own mother, sister, two brothers and his dad.
Boyce is survived by his cherished children, Jason, Heather, Jessica, Amanda, and Adam, who carry forward his resilience, laughter, and capacity for love; his adored grandchildren, Aaron Linder, Eliana Garner (Mason), Chance Davis, Mariah Davis, Megan Viera-Land, Emilio Viera, Adrianna Viera, Delaney Viera, Nirvana Kinley, Bryson Kinley, Konnor Kinley, Amelia Kinley, Scarlett Linder, and Hassle Needham; his siblings, Becky Harris and Eddy Wright; and the close friends who will forever miss his brotherhood.
A celebration of Boyce’s life will be held on Saturday, October 3, 2026 at 2:00 pm in the Ridge Funeral Home Chapel. The family will receive friends from 1:00 until 1:45 p.m., at Ridge Funeral Home prior to the service.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor his memory by reaching out to someone you love, forgiving an old grievance, and living each day with an open heart.
