Royce was one of the guys you know when you're young that you never forget even if you don't see them for many years. I enjoyed going to high school with Royce and having the opportunity to know him.
I am very sad to hear of his passing. May God bring peace to his family during this time.

I knew Royce best playing football with him through junior high and high school. He was a good player and teammate, always outgoing and with a smile on his face. This has been a tough year, another one of our best gone.

I agree with Mike. This has been a very tough 18 months. Royce was a great guy I have always remembered fondly. Yes, it seems like football is the common denominator. God bless and we will all be together again some day.

I was fortunate to attend Royce's service with John Brockman and Butch Ford. Royce's eldest Brother officiated. The service was well done and very moving. There were humorus and sad moments. Remembering Royce, I'm sure he would approve.

I'm so glad you guys were able to go. It's really hard that we've lost so many in the past few months. They truly will be missed.Sue Monroe
I was glad to have had the opportunity to talk with Royce several years ago when we were planning a class event. I tried my best to get him to attend but he gladly told me that he already had a fishing trip planned and he just wouldn't be able to make it. I have to admit that I just didn't get how he could give up getting together with his classmates because he was going fishing until I read his obituary and found that bass fishing was one of his loves. I am glad that he was able to enjoy that trip and hope that it brought him great joy especially because his life was cut short. I am also sorry that all of us who attended missed the chance to see him. I remember Royce always having a good word and a warm smile. It is good that he rests in peace.

Thank you guys so much for going to Royce's funeral. Too many. Saddens my heart, but glad to know you were there for us that couldn't go.
