James Boyce Obituary

What an amazing role model Coach Boyce was for kids. I had the honor and the privilege of working with Jimmy at North Charleston for several years. He will be missed. Sincerest condolences. RIP, Coach.

Jimmy was a big brother for me a knob in 1973-74. Kind and a big help in fitting in the culture of The Citadel. He had a quick smile & an encouraging word.

As a former football player who was taught by Coach Boyce I can remember the two a day practices that were so tough but he was always there to help us along and give us the extra motivation boost we all needed. The world needs more people like Coach Boyce. He is a model to young men finding their way in the world.

A great teacher, coach and good mentor for the students that knew him!

Dawn already wrote here, but I want to say that Jimmy was a big, COOL guy. I remember him holding the Nochas record for the discus throw.

Jim was a good friend, neighbor, and fellow teacher at South Aiken High School. Kind and always a joy to be with.

Annie,
We are so sorry to hear about Jimmy. Our hearts hurt with you and we pray the sweet memories of Jimmy, help sustain you in the difficult days ahead. We are praying for you and your family.
With deepest sympathy,
Terry and Pam Blalock

Jimmy was one of kind, he will be missed by all that truly knew him.
Look forward to our reunion in heaven.

Jim and I coached together @ South Aiken. Can´t think of a better role model for the teams he coached.

Annie, I´m so very sorry to read about Jimmy. My prayers for you and your family. You two set wonderful examples of being servants of Jesus. Love, Ellen

Annie, Marion, and Sarah Nell, I am so sorry to hear of Jimmy´s passing. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. I have firsthand knowledge of the exemplary husband and father that Jimmy was. His devotion to his family was quite evident. When I think of that group, Rabon, Gaetke, Jimmy, Jack and Mike Peek; they were so much fun. We enjoyed each other, worked very hard and managed to win a few games along the way. That was a special time in my life as a football coach. Now we all have to hold Jimmy´s memory dearly. I hope these memories put a smile on all of your faces as the mention of Jimmy´s name does on mine.
With deepest sympathy,
Rusty Davis

A kind and gentle soul, more so than most.

He will always be remembered. What a great man.
