Boyd Cox Bulloch, 92, passed away peacefully on June 5, 2026, in Cedar City, Utah. He was born April 24, 1934, in Cedar City, to Bruce Nielson Bulloch and Louisa Cox Bulloch. He spent his early childhood years in Southern California before his family relocated to Boulder City, Nevada, where he graduated from Boulder City High School in 1952. Following high school, he attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, graduating with a degree in Accounting.

Boyd married his high school sweetheart and the absolute love of his life, Patricia Jeanne Swartz, in 1955. They settled in North Las Vegas in 1959, where they began building a beautiful, enduring legacy together. Patricia preceded him in death in 2018, and after missing her deeply for eight years, they are finally reunited.

A man of immense diligence, vision, and fearlessness, Boyd never encountered a challenge, an opportunity, or the unknown that he was not willing to face head-on. He was a visionary entrepreneur in North Las Vegas, starting and operating multiple successful businesses and expanding real estate holdings throughout his long career. Though he built a successful career in development, Boyd always maintained that his true wealth couldn't be found in land or ledgers. He frequently told anyone who would listen that he was "the richest man alive"—a title he claimed not because of his business ventures, but because of his faith, his eternal covenants, and the family he adored.

Alongside his professional pursuits, Boyd possessed a profound sense of civic duty. He served with distinction as a city councilman for the City of North Las Vegas and was actively involved in numerous committees and regional commissions within the Las Vegas Valley.

Boyd’s greatest passion and work with Pat was raising their 11 children. Their home was a sanctuary of hospitality, always filled with friends, neighbors, and extended family. While he was the father to 11, countless others looked to Boyd as a father figure, and his door was always open to anyone in need of guidance, shelter, or a warm welcome.

A faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Boyd lived a life guided by the promptings of the Holy Spirit. From 1988 to 1991, Boyd and Pat served faithfully as he presided over the Mississippi Jackson Mission, maintaining a lifelong love for the many missionaries who served under his leadership. He also served for many years as the Director of Public Affairs for the Church, where he was heavily involved in the public affairs and site coordination for the construction of the Las Vegas Nevada Temple.

Boyd had a passion for life and a wide array of interests. He loved flying, building, ranching, and working on the land. He was never happier than when he was starting new projects and improving his properties. His joyful, competitive spirit and absolute pride in his massive posterity were famously captured on his custom writing pens, which he loved to hand out to friends and strangers alike. They bore a trademark inscription that perfectly captured his zest for life: “Boyd & Patricia Bulloch: 11 children, 52 grandchildren, 87 great-grandchildren… catch me if you can!”

Boyd was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Patricia Bulloch; his parents, Bruce and Louisa Cox Bulloch; his sister, Beverly Gaffin; his grandson, Michael Avance; and his great-grandson, Declan Peattie.

He is survived by his 11 children: Bruce (Linda), Randy (Robyn), Howard (Cristi), Dee Dee Bulloch, Alicia (Mike) Avance, Brent (Diane), Bonnie Bulloch, Scott (Michelle), Troy (Erin), Roger (Megan), and Rebecca (Kent) Wagner. Boyd was incredibly proud to be a grandfather to over 50 grandchildren, and a great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather to more than 100 descendants.
