Tim Boyd was always smiling, and was always smiling proudly over his son

I was sad to hear the news of the passing of Tim Boyd on Tuesday afternoon.

Tim was a great guy. A fun guy. Like his son, Clemson All-American quarterback Tajh Boyd, he always had a smile on his face. I guess that is where Tajh gets it from.

In my line of work, you sometimes get to know the moms and dads of certain athletes, but never have I known a family dynamic like the Boyd’s in my 23 years as a sportswriter. All father’s love their sons and support them through it all.
