I knew Boyd when we both were around Campus Corner and the Deli. http://www.portlandmercury.com/blogtown/2017/11/01/19433173/a-portland-musician-was-found-dead-in-colonel-summers-park-wednesday
Hmmm, isn't that park frequented by lost boys? I guess he was one and he frequented this area. Judging by his statement of he moved to Portland for romanitic life of a bike courier. Yep, definitely a lost boy! Have to wonder too if he was riding his bike while under the influence of something! This park is known for heroin using and other drugs.
He worked as a courier to supplement his musical income. He was doing well enough to leave Norman and risk in a new city. Boyd was popular as a fill in and session player as well. He was delivering, had a wreck, and bled out, intracranial.
