Boyd passed away this morning

I am bummed to hear this and truly send his family my prayers and condolences,He was to young to pass and and Im sure still had much to give to the street rod world.........JimA- yes my thoughts are with Little John,I spent alotta time talkin to him in DelMar last year and over the years at sturgis...damn I hate this age thing

 

RIP big guy

 

God must be setting up one heck of a rod shop up in Heaven because he's been calling up some of the best lately. RIP Boyd.

 

RIP Boyd....love his style or had it, he was still a legend,unfortunaly his work has ended....but his legacy will live on....

 

R.i.p.

 

God bless boyd and the whole Coddington family. His impact will be missed.

 

Sad news. Growing up in Norway you didn't see alot of rod and customs, so I was very fascinated by his work when I was younger. I guess superstar builders like him helped me find my true passion about traditional rod and kustoms...

RIP Boyd

 

My prayers go out to his family.

 

R.I.P. Boyd

 

JO is way cool.
It will be interesting to see how the business continues
with Jo and his son.
Hopefully much improvement.

sad news...off to the street rod god in the sky. Thoughts to his wife and children, and extended family.

 

Love him or Hate him he changed the game...This is yet another big blow to our hobby.

RIP Boyd

 

couldnt of said it any better rest in peace boyd...what a shocker..jeffrey

 

Rest in peace Boyd, I'm sorry to hear this.
peace to his family and friends...

 

even though it was fun to make fun of his flower shirts and his cars It really sucks he is gone. The Aluma Coupe snap together was the first model I ever "built" and the first thing I ever spray painted.

 

What a shock. We may not all like his style, but we have to respect his imagination and creativity. What a huge loss for our hobby.

 

He was definitely someone I looked up to big time when I was younger. RIP

 

We all have different tastes and some of his were not mine, but there is no question on the amount of imagination and talent that he had. He forever made a mark on hotrodding. My prayers to the Coddington family. Godspeed.

 

R.I.P. Boyd.

There will be a big hole leftl, both in the smaller world of the family and those close to him and in the larger world of hot rodding.

Big big hole.

 

What a shock! I can't believe he is gone. My prayers are with him, his family and friends....R.I.P, Boyd....

We all will miss Boyd. The hot rodding world has lost an innovator and an icon! Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.

 

R.I.P Boyd

 

May the Lord comfort his family and friends in their time of grief and may he rest in peace.

 

Rest in Peace Boyd. He's probably sizing up God's chariot right now. -stick

 

RIP Boyd and God Speed on your jounney ,,,,,,

 

Rest in peace and strength to the family.
