Known for his daring spirit and deep love for flying—fueled by his military background—Roy was described as kind, family-focused, and a true daredevil. His ashes will be scattered privately, as per his wishes. Though his obituary listed Butler as his hometown, records show he also lived in Windber, Pennsylvania, and Florida. The single-engine turboprop stalled shortly after takeoff, failing to gain full power during a turn near a local road. Authorities are still investigating the crash’s cause, while the community rallies around his grieving family.
