Coy was a loving son, brother, father, and grandfather who will be dearly missed. He was a member of Highland Methodist Church of High Point. Coy was known for his sense of humor, and always loved to host parties for his family and friends. In the summer he could always be found by the pool. He was fondly known as "Pops" once he became a grandfather.
Coy is survived by his daughter Kim Jones and husband Gene; and his son Dean Joyce; his granchild Trevor Jones and his grandchild Haley Joyce.
Coy was preceded in death by his first wife of 19 years, Patricia Coggin Joyce and his second wife of 39 years, Nancy Markham Joyce; his father Coy Joyce, Sr. and his mother Lou Verta Taylor Joyce; his brother John Franklin Joyce.
Coy is also survived by his extended family and friends.
