Mr. Henry Boyce Sims of Hohenwald, TN was born May 25, 1945, to the late Roy Sims & Pauline Gobble Sims, passed away on Friday, May 26, 2023, at the age of 78.

Born and raised in Hohenwald, Mr. Boyce worked 32 + years as a quality control inspector with the Tennessee Department of Transportation. He was a member of the Pineview Church of Christ. Every morning his little red Chevy S10 pickup would be found parked outside the Southern Skillet. Inside you would find Boyce with his friends, drinking coffee and usually discussing politics, of which Boyce was a proud Republican. He enjoyed push-mowing his yard because pushing made the lawn look a lot nicer and he loved working in a garden. He loved to aggravate, give people nicknames, most of which still stick to some people today, collect coins and wheat pennies, and loved finding “buckeyes” and giving them to family members because of the good luck they bring. A simple man who loved the simple things, if he wasn’t found at the Skillet he could be found on S. Walnut St, sitting in a lawn chair in the yard enjoying the day and the things around him.

He is survived by three daughters, Paula Sims, Ann (Nathan) Duncan & Beth (James) Howard all of Hohenwald, Brother, Jerry Sims of Milan, TN, twelve grandchildren, Ragan & Chandler Lewis, Kara Beth Carroll, Pryce Sims, Canaan, Isaac, Eli, Noah & Marlee Rae Duncan, Jaylon (Brooklyn), Jaxon & Kabry Howard, six great-grandchildren, and numerous special friends.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by a sister, Peggy Peevyhouse.

Visitation with the family will be held on Tuesday, May 30 from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM at McDonald Funeral Home in Hohenwald, TN. Funeral Services will immediately follow with Bill Webb & Nathan Duncan officiating. A private burial and service will follow at a later time in the Napier Cemetery.
