Roy Cooper Tidwell

He married Margaret Tremaine on May 13th, 2023, and in doing so, gained two daughters, a son, five grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Roy was truly a one-of-a-kind person who, even with his gruff exterior, always knew how to bring a smile to anyone’s face. He spent years operating multiple businesses; a tractor supply company, his convenience store and tending to his tenants’ needs as a fulltime landlord. When he wasn’t working on one of his rental properties, you could find Roy tinkering around on his many side projects, including his collection of small engines, cars, and lawn equipment. He took considerable pride in everything he did and was never in short supply regarding advice on faster, more cost-effective ways of doing things. Roy could always be found sitting at his kitchen table during his downtime, relaxing, watching football and discussing the current news or hanging out with friends and family around the grill. Roy was loved by many and will be deeply missed.

Tidwell is survived by his loving wife, Margaret Tidwell; children, Candace and Allen Collins, Kenneth and Christina Tremaine; grandchildren Courtney Taylor, DeAnna and Michael Hutson, Mason and Destiny Tremaine, Joshua Case and Sterling Taylor; great-grandchildren, Jason, Gabriel, Beatrice, Adeline, and Ezra; brother, Frank Tidwell and wife Fran; nephew, James Wood; Sherri Tidwell, Leighan Bella and husband Steve; great nieces and nephews, Chance and Lauren Hankins, Blake and Lacea Hankins, Myranda and Hayden Whiteley, Justin and Hailey Bell; four great-great Nephews and one great-great niece
