Boyd Harold Ochsner
Boyd Harold Ochsner, 86, of Chattanooga went to be with our Lord on June 21, 2024.
A resident of Chattanooga for the past 40 years, Mr. Ochsner went to Bethany College for software engineering in Lindsborg, Kansas.

He retired from Tennessee Valley Authority after 25 years of service as a systems analyst and programmer.
He was a member of Graceworks Church.
There was absolutely nothing he could not do. He grew up on a farm in Kansas and could grow anything.
All of the banana trees you see around probably came from Boyd.
