A'DreVionne Eugene Boyd

A’DreVionne Eugene Boyd was the second of four children born to LaDonna Strozier and LeeAndre Boyd Sr on April 30, 2001, in Kansas City, Missouri. At an early age, he mastered the art of persuasion to get his way, earning the nickname “SNOOK” because of his sneaky and playful manipulation—though it was mostly his mother who fell for his antics. His personality was full of charm, humor, and determination from the very beginning.

At a young age, A’DreVionne accepted Christ into his life and became an active member of Paradise Missionary Baptist Church, where he began building the spiritual foundation that would guide him throughout his life.

He received his education in the metropolitan Kansas City area and earned his diploma in general education from Frontier STEM High School in 2019. Rather than immediately pursuing college, A’DreVionne chose to dedicate himself to working full-time with disabled children and adults, a reflection of his compassionate heart and willingness to serve others.

In his spare time, A’DreVionne enjoyed building intricate Lego displays, designing custom clothing for close friends, fishing, skateboarding, and attending rave parties. He lived boldly and embraced life with curiosity and courage. Anything he set his mind to, he tried at least once, never afraid to take risks or explore new paths. In 2024, he enrolled in T&L Welding Academy, where he successfully graduated and earned his AWS Certification, demonstrating his commitment to building a skilled and purposeful future.

A’DreVionne transitioned from this earthly life to eternal freedom on Saturday, February 7, 2026. He was welcomed at the pearly gates by his great-grandmothers Valla Lee, Caroline Edwards, Christine Branch, and Maxine Lunnie; his grandfathers Harry Lee and Donald Ray Strozier; and his Uncle Keith Conaway, all of whom preceded him in death.

He leaves to cherish his memory three siblings: LeeAndre Boyd Jr., ZaMauri Boyd, and KaMauri Boyd; two nephews, LeeAndre Boyd III and Zyair Thompson; along with a host of loving family members and friends who will forever hold him close in their hearts.
