Jimmy Doyce Boyett Obituary
Jimmy Doyce Boyett, “J”, as his granddaughter referred to him, of Waco, Texas passed away at the age of 63, June 21, 2022 surrounded by his loving wife, and daughters. Funeral services will be 9 a.m. Friday, June 24 at Meadowbrook Baptist Church with Pastor David Cozart officiating. Burial will immediately follow at St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery in West.

Jimmy was born December 13, 1958 to Alton and Reiko Boyett in Waco, Texas. Jimmy attended University High before transferring to Robinson High School, where he graduated in 1977, with the best group of friends you could hope for. He earned his associates degree from TSTC and began working at M&M Mars, where he would eventually retire from after 32 years. Jimmy met the love of his life, Laurie Boyett, and married her in May of 1987. He had three daughters, who he enjoyed coaching in any and every sport they were involved in. He was an avid golfer. Just about any Monday morning, weather permitting, he would be at Cottonwood for senior golf. He loved competing, whether it was golf, softball, or checkers. Jimmy loved coaching, hunting, fishing, and being the life of the party. He was a teammate, friend, brother, coach, husband, and his favorite title of all was “Dad.” He never went anywhere without knowing a friend, or making a friend. He coached too many teams to name, and touched too many lives to count.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Alton and Reiko Boyett.
Jimmy is survived by his loving wife of 35 years, Laurie Boyett; three daughters, Arin Dubois and husband Jeff Dubois, and precious granddaughter, Rory Dubois; daughter, Stacey Boyett and fiancé Cameron Cole; and daughter, Reagan Boyett and boyfriend Jason Hardin; his wonderful siblings including his sister, Susan Olle and fiancé Vic Baker; brothers, Rick Boyett and wife Laura Boyett; brother, David Boyett and wife Tammy Boyett; and countless nieces and nephews, who he loved dearly.
