Royce Erwin Tschatschula was born August 16, 1932 in Warda, Texas, the son of Adolph Tschatschula and Emma (Fick) Tschatschula. Royce was baptized as God's child on August 28, 1932, and confirmed his faith in Jesus Christ through the rite of confirmation on March 28, 1948 at St. John's Lutheran Church, Paige, Texas. Royce married Dorothy Mae Haverland on February 7, 1953, and enjoyed 66 years of a wonderful life together until her passing in 2019. They were blessed with two sons, Ronnie and Roy. Royce was called to his Savior on November 22, 2020.
Royce enjoyed hunting, fishing, and attending his son's baseball games, but as his sons grew older, he devoted almost all of his time to running a successful business he started in 1971. Nothing made him happier than working long hours on the job, then coming home and keeping his own company's books until bedtime.
Royce was preceded in death by his beloved wife Dorothy; brother Eugene Tschatschula and sister Elnora Everts; two grandsons, Bradley Tschatschula and Ryan Tschatschula.
He is survived by his two sons, Ronnie Tschatschula and wife Glynis, and Roy Tschatschula; sister Lorine Richardson; granddaughter Amanda Tschatschula; and numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
