A Celebration of Life honoring Roy will be held on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at New Hopewell Baptist Church, 4011 New Hopewell Church Road, Jeffersonville, GA 31044 with Rev. Marcus Cuyler and Pastor Kitchens officiating.
Roy was born in Twiggs County to the late John C. and Rhoda L. Tharpe Boyd. He was a faithful member of New Hopewell Baptist Church and dedicated many years of service through his work with Yarborough Construction. Roy was a man who cherished his family and valued the relationships he shared with those around him. He will be remembered for his love, devotion, and the special place he held in the hearts of his family and friends.
Above all, Roy was a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and uncle. His greatest blessings were the family he loved and the memories they created together. His presence, wisdom, and love will be deeply missed, but the legacy he leaves behind will continue to live on through the many lives he touched.
He leaves to cherish his precious memories his loving wife, Loretta Driskell Boyd; his children, Jeffrey Driskell, Valerie Cuyler, Corroll Driskell, Lisa Boyd, Sharon Boyd Piper, Christina Boyd, and Jeffrey LaTroy; his siblings, Elvenia Boyd-Lewis, John Lee Body, and Mildred Boyd Blinder; along with a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.
Though his earthly journey has ended, the love he shared and the memories he leaves behind will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. His family finds comfort in knowing that he is now resting in the loving arms of his Lord and Savior.
Snow's @ Macon Memorial Park has charge of the arrangements.
