Ken spent most of his time fishing at Cedar Creek Lake with his group of closest friends, watching the Alabama Crimson Tide play football, spending time with his family, enjoying times spent with friends at the lake, and being with a special little girl that gave him such great joy, his favorite fishing buddy, his granddaughter, Jailee.

He is survived by his loving, devoted wife of 42 years, Rhonda Boyles; their children, Justin (Whitney) Boyles and Keslie (John) Garrett; his siblings Kirk (Kathy) Boyles and Kim Boyles; one granddaughter, Jailee Garrett, who had him wrapped around her finger. He also leaves behind a host of extended family and friends whom he loved more than words can express! 

He was preceded in death by his parents, Qualand and Joyce Boyles; grandparents, Hansel and Evie Boyles and Herbert and Nellie Mae Mansell. 

The family wants to say a special Thank You to Dr. Lauren Byers of MD Anderson, one of his MICU nurses Cheneal at Emory University Hospital, and all the other hospital staff who have cared for Ken during his illness at MD Anderson, NAMC, and Emory University Hospital.
