I’ve known Roy and his family since I’ve were little kids and we graduated high school together too. I remember playing outside, climbing trees, (breaking my arm) at his house when I was 4 years old. Our families knew each other too so we would hang out together at his granny’s house south of Riverview. Although, we lost touch over the years, I was so saddened to hear of his passing. I pray that you’re resting in eternal peace. I know that you are watching down over your family and friends and guiding them through this difficult time. Prayers for your family, especially for Sean, Sherri and your family in Louisiana.

Roy and I became friends at Room To Go. I didn’t realize when we met we’d create such a bond. Roy had a rough way about him. But he wasn’t the rough guy alot if people saw him as. Through the years we became like brothers. I’m so hurt inside, i hadn’t seen him in years but we kept in touch. Roy I’m glad your not suffering anymore, I’ll see you on the other side brother ! ❤️
