Tom Boyer 1957 - 2021
If the measure of a life well lived is loving well, Tom Boyer nailed it.
Born and raised in McMinnville, Oregon, Tom Boyer, 64, spent his life farming his family’s land and cultivating community with his beloved wife of 30 years, Barbara. He left behind the legacy of a community deeply rooted in love and service to one another when he passed away, following his year-long battle with cancer.
Despite his suffering, Boyer lived into the words of the French Renaissance writer, doctor and humanist Francois Rabelais: “For all your ills I give you laughter.”
Making people laugh was one of the things Tom did best. For a man of few words, Boyer is adored and remembered for his wry humor, quick wit and endless supply of “Tom-isms.”
