Robert "Moe" Ernest Roy Jr's Obituary
A Gentle Light: Remembering Robert “Moe” Ernest Roy Jr.
June 11th, 1964 – October 7th, 2025
Kindness often shows itself in quiet ways, and Robert Ernest “Moe” Roy Jr. made those moments feel easy and natural. Friends recall his supportive spirit, steady loyalty, and ready empathy that welcomed everyone into the room.
Humor was Moe’s simple gift. Described as the life of the party, he used a quick joke or a warm smile to ease tension and remind others that laughter can be healing.
Away from gatherings, Moe shared small acts of care that linger in memory, a listening ear after a long day or an encouraging word before a hard choice. These kind gestures helped friends feel seen and accepted.
Music filled many of his evenings, while golf and darts added friendly fun to weekends. Each round or match was definitely about the score and who would be doing the chores afterwards. Moe took special pride in his family. His son Nicholas Roy and daughter-in-law Christina Roy often speak of the gentle guidance and unwavering support he offered, lessons they now carry forward.
Born in Islip, NY and passing in Tacoma, WA, Moe’s journey crossed miles but always returned to the same purpose: treating people with care. Those who knew him will remember his steady presence and choose kindness in his honor.
In the days ahead, recalling a shared laugh or a quiet act of support will keep Moe close. May his gentle compassion continue to guide all who were fortunate to walk beside him.
