In Memory OfABFC Paul H. Boykin II

ABFC Paul H. Boykin II, 52, U.S. Navy, born May 6, 1971, lost the battle within on October 17, 2023. Boykin was an Aviation Boatswain's Mate (Fuel Handler) on the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) in the Kosovo Conflict. There, he ensured all aircraft were fueled up and ready to carry out airstrikes against Serbian forces. Boykin stayed at sea on various carriers for years, but made his way back to dry land as a recruiter, ensuring that the next generation of sailors was the best our country has to offer. Fair winds and following seas, Shipmate! Til Valhalla, Brother!
