David Anthony Boykin was born June 29, 1982 in Bakersfield, California. He spent his childhood in Puyallup, Washington and graduated from Maple Lane High School, which was one of his most cherished memories.
Throughout his life, Christmas morning remained one of Dave’s most favorite times of the year. He loved spending those early morning hours with his family, opening up presents. Dave was a participant in the Special Olympics. When he wasn’t out competing, he spent his time playing video games and watching comedy and love story movies. Dave also loved to visit McDonald’s. He was easily spotted there sporting his favorite Dallas Cowboys jacket.
David was preceded in death by his bio-mother, Debbie Miles. He is survived by his father Dennis Boykin, mother Mary Diane Boykin, sisters Kristin Herrera, Heather Villani and Emily Nicole, brothers Brandon Miles, Allen Turner and Joshua Boykin.
