If you’ve ever started your day with New England’s most iconic rock morning show, you know Laura Boyce’s voice like an old friend. For over two decades, “Laura” on Greg & The Morning Buzz has been that familiar mix of humor, warmth, and realness that makes mornings feel a little brighter across Rock 101 (WGIR-FM) and 100.3 WHEB.
But as of November 18, 2025, listeners are asking a heartbreaking question—and the answer is devastating.
Laura’s husband, Jeffrey Patrick Boyce, known simply as Jeff, passed away unexpectedly at their Manchester, New Hampshire home on November 15, 2025, at just 48 years old.
Jeff was Laura’s partner for nearly 20 years, the father of their two boys, and a beloved member of the entire Morning Buzz family. His loss has left a space that feels impossible to fill.
Who Was Jeff Boyce? The Man Laura Loved
Laura’s husband, Jeff Boyce, was born on September 22, 1977. A lifelong Manchester-area local, Jeff loved his roots—New England sports, neighborhood traditions, and the easy sense of humor the region is known for.
He and Laura married in 2006, building a family together that centered around their sons:
- Parker, born in 2011
- Dylan, born in 2015
Professionally, Jeff spent many years working in sales and operations, most recently at E&R Cleaners, following a long tenure at Skillsoft. Anyone who worked with him describes the same man: funny, dependable, thoughtful, and the guy who remembered every birthday and planned the best gatherings.
His obituary from Lambert Funeral Home gently notes it as a “sudden passing,” focusing instead on the joyful spirit he brought to every room. The Boyce family has asked for privacy as they navigate this unimaginable loss, while the Morning Buzz community has rallied around them with unwavering support.
A Marriage Rooted in Joy
Jeff grew up in Hooksett and attended Manchester West High School. He had that unmistakable blend of charm and friendliness that made conversations with him feel effortless. When he and Laura married in 2006, everyone who knew them said it felt like the most natural next step.
Their Manchester home quickly became the kind of place that radiated comfort—warm lights, loud laughs, and kids running down the hallway. Jeff was the dad who turned ordinary days into magical memories:
- Snowstorms meant igloo engineering in the front yard
- Rainy weekends transformed into forts, flashlights, and microwave s’mores
- And he was famous for “yes days,” where whatever the boys asked for, Dad said yes—no questions
On The Morning Buzz, Laura shared countless on-air stories about Jeff sneaking the boys extra treats or finding silly ways to make them laugh. You could hear the love in her voice every time.
The Partner Behind Laura’s Radio Magic
Morning radio is demanding. While the rest of the world sleeps, Laura was often awake by 3:30 a.m., heading to the station for a 5:30 a.m. show. Jeff made that rhythm possible.
He handled:
- School drop-offs
- Breakfasts and packed lunches
- Schedules, appointments, and everyday chaos
—never with frustration, always with pride.
When the Morning Buzz team hosted live broadcasts or charity events, Jeff was right there—carrying gear, chatting with listeners, or simply being the supportive presence standing a few feet behind Laura. Fans always described him as instantly likable, the kind of person who made everyone feel welcome.
A Devoted Dad Through and Through
Nothing meant more to Jeff than Parker and Dylan. At 14 and 10, the boys are now facing a loss no child should have to face. Jeff coached their sports teams, cheered from the sidelines, spent weekends teaching them new skills, and always made sure they felt loved beyond measure.
His sons were his greatest pride. Anyone who ever heard Laura talk about her family knows how deeply Jeff cherished fatherhood.
How The Morning Buzz Crew Is Coping
Since Jeff’s passing, the show has continued—but the grief is palpable. Greg, Roadkill, and the entire Buzz family are holding the fort while leaving space for healing and remembrance.
Laura is understandably off the air while she supports her boys and processes the loss of her soulmate. Listeners have flooded the station with messages, stories, and condolences—proof of how deeply loved this family is.
Jeff’s Light Lives On
Jeff Boyce was one of those rare souls who made life brighter just by showing up. His booming laugh, quick humor, generosity, and fierce love for his family touched everyone around him. Losing him at 48 feels deeply unfair—a reminder of how fragile life can be.
To Laura, Parker, Dylan, and the entire Boyce family: the Morning Buzz community is standing firmly beside you. Jeff’s laughter, kindness, and presence will never fade. His legacy is the joy he spread freely.
We love you, Laura. Take all the time you need. We’ll be right here—ready whenever you are.
Conclusion
Jeff may have left this world far too early, but the life he built with Laura—their home, their sons, their shared memories—will continue to shine through every person he touched. His spirit lives on in Parker and Dylan, the countless moments Laura shared with listeners, and the lives he brightened along the way.
This is a moment for all of us to hold our loved ones closer, to say “I love you” more often, and to cherish the small moments that become the memories we carry forever.
Whenever Laura returns to the microphone, she’ll be met with love, compassion, and open arms. Until then, thousands are sending her strength and lifting her up—just as Jeff spent his life doing for others.
Rest peacefully, Jeff. Thank you for the laughter, the kindness, and the love you shared so freely.
