Donald Gregory Boggs
November 26, 1958 — January 14, 2022
Beloved father, grandfather, son, brother, teacher, principal, coach, and friend, Don Boggs, 63, passed away peacefully on January 14, 2022. Don had suffered from stage four esophageal cancer, as diagnosed in April 2021.
Born to Gloria Holladay Boggs and James Franklin (Frank) Boggs of Central, Don is survived by both parents, his brothers Mike Boggs and Fred Boggs, his children Jason Boggs, Betsy Boggs, Katherine Boggs, Kelly Boggs, and his two grandchildren Olivia Boggs and Braxton Boggs.
Don graduated from Clemson University with a Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education and a Master's of Education in Secondary Education. Don was a dedicated teacher, principal, and coach throughout his 34 years working in education, as he was known to always give more of himself for the sake of helping others. He pushed his students, players, and staff to live with dignity and continually embrace the lives God had blessed them with. He spent most of his professional career at R.C. Edwards Middle School, serving the communities of Central, Clemson, and Six Mile.
"Finally, I want to thank and praise my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for bringing me HOME!" – written by Don as he reflected on the end of his time here on earth.
