My family is shocked and saddened by this. Roy was always a person we looked forward to seeing. Roy and Barbara could not have been any kinder to Jacob as he got his start playing steel shows. Jacob looked up to him so much and held him in such high regard as one of the legends of the steel guitar show community. Prayers for all.
The steel guitar community has lost a great musician and a good friend. He will be missed. Condolences to Barbara and the family. It was an honor to share the stage with him. RIP Roy.

I can't believe what I just read.
This breaks my heart. Roy and I have been close friends for so very long.
I just talked to him a couple of weeks ago and we were planning a trip to Louisianna to see Buck & Mitzi Grantham.
My heart is so heavy.

Sending for the family!!

Loss of a friend....
What a loss to all of us. I never met anyone that loved music as much as Roy did, and he was a friend to everyone, all you had to do was say hello and you were friends with him immediately.
Rest in peace my friend, we all loved you and appreciated the talent you shared so graciously with all of us.

Terrible news, One mighty fine musician, I never heard anyone throw anything at him he couldn’t handle with ease. A great player who worked with all the premier players in the steel guitar community. My sincere condolences to family and may the Lord give them peace.

I had to read this twice to believe what I was reading.
Roy was such a great and kind man. His musicianship speaks
for itself. It was such a great pleasure knowing he was
there to bail me out when playing shows. Our heartfelt
sadness goes out to Barbara and all the family. Rest in
peace dear friend. Larry and Jean Baker

The right words are so hard to find right now.
Roy started coming to the Phoenix show from the beginning, and did so up until a few years ago.
He always called me Panama Jack, from the hat I wore.
Just hand Roy the chart and he'd take care of the rest,
I'll miss Roy forever, my prayers and condolences for Barbara and the family. R.I.P. my friend.

We lost an icon in the steel guitar world. His talent and dedication are unequaled. He was a kind and humble man who made me want to take it up a notch when we played together at the TSGA Jamboree. Also, I was honored when he asked if I would take a couple of piano sets for him.
I pray for peace and strength for Barbara and their family.
