Roy was a unique and special person to all of those he encountered. He was the most energetic and always the life of the party. His outgoing and engaging personality brought smiles to many. At an early age, he broke barriers and overcame obstacles regularly. Being the youngest of eight children he was definitely loved the most, as any of his siblings will tell you. His most important and fulfilling role in his adult life was being a husband, father, and grandfather. His love, kindness, and generosity will be missed but remembered and felt forever.
Roy accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at Mount Olive Baptist Church in Lake Charles, LA. Roy became a Deacon in 2018 at Friendly Will Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Rudy Williams.

Outside of work, Roy enjoyed many hobbies and activities including being a P.Y.B.A. basketball Coach, Member of the Marc Thomas Chapter – Sickle Cell Foundation and he was a yearly participant in the Juneteenth Celebration in Austin.
