Boyd Ephraim Herzog Boyd Ephraim Herzog died peacefully on the morning of March 22, 2019 at the Stonehenge Care Center in American Fork, Utah. Boyd was born Sept 27, 1938 to Leo Jessey Herzog and Sarah Elnora Byington in Logan, Utah. He was the third of ten children and the second oldest son.
The last school he attended was Logan High School and he always looked forward to his high school reunions over the years. He joined the Air Force, before completing high school, and earned his GED while in the service. He was stationed in Pensacola, Florida at Eglin Air Force Base when he met his first wife Rosa Cropper.
When his time in the service was complete, they returned to Logan and eventually settled in Bountiful, UT and were later divorced. While in Bountiful he and friend, Kurt Johnson became concrete contracting partners later splitting off on their own. Boyd enjoyed many years of success as the owner of Herzog Concrete Construction.
After selling his construction company he did a variety of jobs; truck driver, crane operator and Dry Dock Manager at Bullfrog Marina Lake Powell were some of his favorites. Boyd met and married RoLene Massie while living in Bountiful and managing his concrete contracting business. They later divorced.
He later married Chyrl Park of Bountiful, and over their thirty-years of marriage they have lived in Bountiful, Centerville, Mendon, UT and most recently in Saratoga Springs, UT. Boyd was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where throughout his life he served in the Young Men’s program and Boy Scouts. He also served as Executive Secretary, and Stake Bee Keeper.
However, his favorite calling was serving as an ordinance worker in the Logan Utah Temple with his wife Chyrl. Boyd and Chyrl were called to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on the Deseret Ranch in St. Cloud, Florida. Chryl’s teaching skills and Boyd’s love of hard work combined with their mutual love of the gospel made it the perfect mission for both.
Boyd enjoyed being physically active most of his life and spent many years riding his bike to stay healthy. He loved camping, boating, water skiing and road trip vacations with his family. He was an accomplished small aircraft pilot and enjoyed riding his many motorcycles.
He always seemed to be working on a project at home or their cabin at Bear Lake, which he loved. He looked forward to family gatherings of any kind because it gave him a chance to leave the world of work behind. Boyd is survived by his wife Chyrl Jenice Park of Saratoga Spring, UT, his former wife, Norma Rosa Cropper of Salt Lake City, UT; his children Julie (Jody) Warburton, of Taylorsville, UT, Troy (Carol) Herzog of Brigham City, UT, Crystal Hein of Taylorsville, UT and Michelle (Kevin) Stay of Garland, UT; Chryl’s children, Jodi (Doug) Graham, of Saratoga Springs, UT, Roger (Elaine) Park, of Nibley, UT, Heather (Chris) Peck of Cedar Hills, UT and Melodi (Josh) Christensen of Kaysville, UT; 29 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren; brothers Deloy (Ann) Herzog, and Dan (Valerie) Herzog.
