([URL='http://MyFoxBoston.com']MyFoxBoston.com[/URL]) -- A man who died on Monday, Sept. 15, after a long battle with cancer has gotten his final wish: To have his ashes fired out of a cannon. Julian Boyd Mercer was 49-years-old when he died. He was an avid hunter and wildlife conservationist. "Boyd," as he was called, was also a member of the United States Practical Shooting Association and the Spartanburg Practical Shooting Association. His memorial service was held Saturday at the Spartanburg Practical Shooting Association Firing Range. His friends say he wanted his ashes to be spread in a unique way. "I mean, you know, he's getting what he wanted. How he wanted to be remembered," a close friend of his said at the service on Saturday. "He was an unconventional person, pretty much, you know.
