In Loving Memory of
John Philip Roy
"Rockstar"
Sunrise: April 30, 1963 - Sunset: May 2, 2026
Philip arrived on this Earth on Tuesday, April 30, 1963. He left to start his Spirit Journey on
Saturday, May 2, 2026.
Beloved son of Christine Roy (predeceased).
He is predeceased by his brother
Jerry (Brenda surviving).
Survived by his siblings Clarence, Veronica and Peter.
He will be missed by his nieces and nephews Linda (Gregor), Jason, Nikki(Roger), Kenny(Nancy), Martin(Lisa) and Reynold.
Forever loved by his great nieces and nephews Keigan, Shannon, Averi, Brooklynn, Bronwynn, Joshua, Jacob, Greyson and Josie.
He was the proud godfather of Nikki.
Philip was a rockstar, he played the guitar and the harmonica. He loved to sing, listen to country music,
and he would often do a Johnny Cash impression.
He got along with everybody he met,
wherever he went everybody knew who he was.
Philip was somebody who treated any child like his own, from his nieces and nephews, to his great nieces and nephews.
They were all in some way his kids.
Philip was quite the fun guy, he had a great sense of humor and could joke with anybody he met.
His laugh was very contagious and could light up a room.
