I always think of Roy when I hear certain music!  He was such an avid music fan and that was our connection when we got to see each other.  At this sad time, remember what Roy loved and enjoyed and the kindness he extended to family and friends over his too-short life.   He was always a sweet person who touched many people with his friendship and love.

A lot of us spent quite a bit of time at Roy’s house during high school.  We were usually up to no good, I could share quite a bit!  One time, Roy was feeding a few mice to his Burmese python.  In the past, Roy had reviewed the safety procedures with me a few times.  The most important item, perhaps the only item, was to always wash your hands before picking up the (python), in particular if you’d handled the mice.  Anyway, he forgot once, and the snake tried to eat him.  We ended up laughing it off, but the few minutes of panic figuring out how to safely remove the animal’s clenched jaw from Roy’s bleeding hand is forever baked into my memory!  We went separate ways after high school.  He was a good generous guy.  I’m saddened that he has passed so young.  My condolences to the family.  

My little brother, you will always be in my heart and in my memory.  I have many special memories, but some that stand out are the ones where Roy was in my parent's family room in NJ playing with his three young nieces.  He would be on the floor and they would ride him like a pony, then fall off his back & everyone would laugh.  He not only loved his nieces, he really enjoyed playing with them.  This is such a special quality - not everyone enjoys playing with kids like that, but Roy did.   It meant so much to me then and it still does.  These were special times & he was special too.  Rest in peace dear little brother.  I love you.

Roy was my youngest cousin.  I remember him as a beautiful little blond boy, always happy and smiling!  We would always see each other at family gatherings and holidays over the years.  As we  both got older and I headed off to college and a different state to live and work we saw each other less.  But when we did see each other at Christmas or a family wedding or event, the one thing we always talked about was music!  Roy just love it - listening to it, going to concerts, sharing tapes with friends of live concerts and more.  It was a true pleasure and a passion for him.  We had similar tastes so could always talk about the shows we saw, new albums as they came out, cover art and what we thought our favorite bands would do next.
Roy was a kind and good person, generous to his friends and family, and a good spirit.  His spirit will live on with me and I will always keep his example with me, to be generous and kind to all.  Safe journey, Roy.  You are going to a good place.  "May the four winds blow you safely home."

Roy William Loeffler was my "little" Cousin … and my friend.  I am deeply saddened by his untimely passing and my heart hurts.  Our family is heartbroken for his Brother, his Sister, his Nieces and everyone else who knew and loved him.  I have fond memories of our childhood, our long telephone conversations and all of the concerts we attended and enjoyed together as adults.  Roy was a good kid and a sweet man.  He had a great sense of humor, a kind smile, an enormous heart … and he was generous to a fault.  I know that Roy was met, welcomed and embraced by his Father, my Father, our GrandPa, our Great Uncle and our Great GrandPa.  That reunion has just begun … but the party will go on and on.

Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile.

I love ya, kid!  Peace ...

Roy was an amazing human being and a dear friend. I had the privilege to know him for the past 17 years and we spend countless hours on the phone talking about everything and anything. He also was my husband's best man when we got married back in 2005. He drove all the way cross country from New Jersey to Montana to stand up for Pete at our wedding.
I had the privilege to stay at his parents house in New Jersey as well as Florida.
We lost touch for a while a few years back but reconnected when we moved to Florida in 2015. He opened his home to us when we encountered our first hurricane. 
We also went to some shows together up in Montana, at Beacon in New York City and in Florida. 
He spent Thanksgiving with us in Florida one year and Christmas another year. 
He was a gentle giant and never had any harsh words. 
He got to know my sons and daughters when they were still little and was always kind to them.
One of the funniest memories I have of Roy is by far the sinking boat.
Pete and I flew to Florida to visit him, back when his mom and das were still with us, and we rented a small boat to go down the canal. Well I got in the boat in front and Roy got in toward the back and from all the movement he tipped it over and I went under.
Of course he always denied he sunk the boat and tried to pin it on me.
But we all knew the truth.
I know he will be greatly missed and I still can't fathom that he is gone.
Roy, rest in peace. You free from all the sorrow and pains that you endured down here on earth. It won't be the same without you.
I hope you with your mom and dad  and that your soul is free.
We love and miss you and you will be in our hearts forever.
Our deepest condolences to Dean and his Family.
