Royce Horton was born on September 17, 1935 in Senath, Missouri and was called home March 19, 2016 in Phoenix, AZ. We said goodbye to the brightest, most charismatic spirit in our world. An amazing father, brother, grandfather, great grandfather, and friend- he was a hard working, hell raising, cigarette smoking, cursing, swearing, son-of-gun. His outrageous sense of humor and contagious energy will forever be missed. He is survived by his daughter Angie (Mark), sons Keith (Tammy) and Roy (Lorrie), grandchildren Melissa, Amber, Kyle, Jaclyn, and RJ, great grandchildren Peyton and Bryce, brother Dewayne, and sisters Loretta and Carolyn. Preceded in death by his beloved wife of 52 years, Barbara. Services will be held Wednesday, March 23rd at 10:00 AM at Phoenix Memorial Park.
