Boyd Quastad, the son of Omer and Lois (Larson) Quastad, was born October 17,1958, in Estherville, Iowa. He passed away Saturday, December 5, 2020, at his home in rural Estherville at the age of 62.

A private family service will be held at this time. A public memorial service for Boyd's family and friends will be held at a later date.

Boyd received his education and graduated from Lincoln Central High School, Gruver, Iowa. He then attended technical school in Des Moines,Iowa for mechanics.

Besides Boyd’s family, farming was his true love. He was born into the farming, he ate, drank and bled farming. Everything was on hold until he was done with what he needed to do on the farm. Even with declining health farming was foremost in his life, with his son by his side. He has now had his final harvest, his crops out and field work done. As a sideline, he worked at Motor Inn for 30 years. Boyd earned numerous awards for his mechanical perfection. To this day his faithful customers are still calling. Boyd also did mechanical work at J&K Snowmobile. He enjoyed going on snowmobiling trips, and he always brought up the rear. Boyd didn’t want to miss any good wrecks, or the ability to help a broken-down sled on the trail. He carried all the tools and some spare parts.

On March 24, 2006, Boyd was united in marriage to Dallas Petersen in Estherville, Iowa. The couple made their home in rural Emmet County, they had two children Jett and Piper. He enjoyed snowmobiling, boating, auctions, and garage sales. Boyd was always there for his family and friends, helping whenever and wherever needed.

He was a member of First Presbyterian Church in Gruver.

Left to cherish Boyd's memory are his wife, Dallas, children, Jett and Piper all of Estherville, siblings, Colleen Quastad of Wallingford, Jeff Quastad of Estherville, Kevin (Chris) Quastad of Estherville, Greg Quastad of Wallingford, Iowa, Diann (Mike Blomstrom) Minion of Estherville; Dennis (Trisha) Quastad of Estherville, Joel Quastad of Estherville; several nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his father and mother-in-law Dean & Vicki Petersen of Graettinger.
