During his teen years he was very fond of his 1932 Ford Coupe. Boyd also loved baseball, and in high school he lettered in track from ninth grade to twelfth grade.
       He married the love of his life, Jeanene, on June 25, 1957, on his 20th birthday at First Baptist Church in Clarks Grove, Minnesota. They were blessed with five children: Dan Reese (Sandy) of Owatonna, Kristi Nelson (Ove) of Liberty, Mo, Randy Reese of Edina, Paul Reese (Angie) of Andover, and Karri Reese of Albert Lea.
