Surrounded by his family, Garnet "Garnie" Bruce Boyd, of Hatfield Point, age 76, husband of Paulette (Ganong) Boyd, passed away, at the Sussex Health Center on February 4, 2016. Garnie was born in Hatfield Point, NB, on May 21, 1939, the son of the late Everett and Elsie Boyd and lived a full life. He was known for working in many capacities in the community, the Baptist church, and supporting friends and neighbours. Garnet Boyd was a poultry farmer for Canada Packers, a school bus driver for former District 6, an entrepreneur, a Baptist Deacon, a member of the Bayview Cemetery Committee, the Hatfield Point Hall Committee, chair of the Hampton Bible Camp Board (former), and chair of the Belleisle Valley Fun Days Committee (former). He spent nine special years at Sussex Farm Supplies and enjoyed working in his retirement. Garnie was a kind-hearted man who took an invested interest in all he met. He loved lending a helping hand and always chose to put others ahead of himself. He had a simple, but devote faith in Christ and friends would say, "his faith never wavered."
