KNUE + Patterson UTI ‘Hometown Hero’ of the Week: Jace Boykin of the U.S. Army

All of us at 101.5 KNUE are proud to be part of East Texas, and we are especially proud to live in a place where we hold our military and first responders in such high regard.

KNUE + Patterson UTI are proud to announce this week’s “Hometown Hero," Jace Boykin of the U.S. Army.

Mr. Boykin was nominated by his wife, Ashley. Here's what she had to say about her husband:

Jace was a dedicated service member spending six years as Military Police, having been deployed to Iraq and Japan, returning home in 2014 to his wife and son to pursue a career as a Game Warden of East Texas and a degree in Criminal Justice. He has the biggest heart and will do anything for his family and friends. He is my hero and I could not be prouder of everything he has done and will do.

To show our appreciation for Jace's dedication and service to his country and community, he will receive a plaque courtesy of Tyler Trophy. They specialize in awards, engraving, trophies, plaques, gifts and more.

Thank you for your service, Jace, and we are proud to call you a fellow East Texan.
