Russell Steven Boyd passed away suddenly on December 28, 2012. He was born to Russell Knox and Mary Lou Boyd on July 26, 1950 at Fullerton Hospital. He attended school in Fullerton and studied Music and Theatre Arts at Cal State Fullerton. He married his high school sweetheart, Meryl Wilkinson, in 1970 and continued to reside in Fullerton. Russell began his career in restaurant management in the mid 1970s and transitioned to sales in the produce distribution business in the early 1980s. He had a successful 15 year career with G & G Produce in Los Angeles and continued in the produce business with Sunrise Produce until his untimely death. Golfing and surfing were two of his favorite pastimes. He encouraged his children to participate in many sports and activities and he enjoyed watching them play softball, soccer, football and rugby. Russell coached little league and softball and went on to play mens softball for 25 years. He also could be seen umpiring adult softball throughout Orange County. His favorite vacation spot was in Maui and couldnt wait to retire there. He truly embraced the Aloha spirit. Russell was the quintessential family man and spending time with his children and grandchildren brought him great joy. He was predeceased by brother David Boyd and mother Mary Lou Johnson and is survived by his father Knox, brothers Michael Boyd and Jeff Boyd, sisters Taina Anderson and Heidi Boyd, wife, Meryl of 42 years and children Echo Wein, Aaron Boyd, Alanna Boyd, Colin Boyd and Garrett Boyd and his five grandchildren (with a new one on the way!) Services were held at McAulay & Wallace in Fullerton and was buried  at Loma Vista Memorial Park.
