Boyce Sparks married a woman named Irene (no known surname) and had two children (both girls). According to the Sallie DeWitt 1981 Genealogy, Boyce Sparks died a hero, while driving a petroleum transport truck, sometime in his late twenties. The truck was involved in a crash in California and he escaped, but he returned to the wreckage to save another person and was burned to death.

His widow taught school in Houston, remarried to a man named W.L. Longan (about 1942 in Hereford, Texas), and had a son who was born in 1943. She lived in Plainview, Texas during the WWII era.
