The PSNI said they were called to the Pettigo Road due to a \u201cserious road traffic collision\u201d<\/a> with emergency responses continuing on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

Mr Boyd was found deceased at the scene.<\/p>\n

The PSNI said his death was not being treated as suspicious or as the result of the collision.<\/p>\n

In a social media post, Kathryn paid a heartfelt tribute to her husband and informed people of the temporary closure of the family business.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cWe will be closed until further notice. We will be back. There is a massive legacy to uphold and continue with the plans he made me very much aware of, thankfully.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe find peace that he will guide us in the direction that us required. But in the meantime, we hope he will help us through these painful days until a plan is made.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Boyd was married in the summer of last year.<\/p>\n
