Billie was born May 15, 1931, in Mist, Arkansas, to Eddie and Edythe Boykin. He served in the Air Force during the Korean War and married the love of his life, Lydia Sue Howell Boykin. He worked as an electrician, a rancher, a farmer, and in timber management. He loved his family, hunting, and raising both hunting dogs and quarter horses.
He is preceded in death by his father, Eddie Scott Boykin, and his mother, Edythe Adams Boykin.
Billie is survived by his wife of 40 years, Lydia Sue Boykin; his children, Billy (Lynn) Boykin, Jr., Tray (Lisa) Bourgoyne, and Terri Boykin; grandchildren, Billy Scott (Taylor) Boykin, III, and Kristin (Chandler) Tinsley.

May he rest in peace.
Just found out today through a good friend, Jane Ivy, that Billy had died. Here is a picture of us at the deer camp talking about our deer stories. Fred Harris, Billy Scott Boykin, and I in the late 80s at Browns Point Hunting Club on Kings Point Island, north of Vicksburg, MS.
