Online Memorial Tribute

Christopher James Roy died in the Line of Duty on November 28, 2005, enroute to an emergency call. Chris, also known as Ol' Roy by his closest friends, lived his entire life in Calera Alabama. He was a young man devoted to living his life to it's fullest, helping his neighbor, and by honoring his word. Chris modeled himself after his heroes, people whom he admired, that showed strength and integrity in their actions, not their word's.

Chris was a man who would do what he said and said what he believed. He aspired to follow in his Grandfather's footsteps and lead the City of Calera in its prosperous future. Although his life was cut short, he left an imprint in the hearts of hundreds of people. He accomplished more in his 25 years than many people accomplish in a lifetime. Chris enjoyed making people feel good, be it through his genuine smile, a pat on the back or a firm handshake.

He shared his time willingly by helping those that needed help. Chris leaves behind, his parents James & Joyce Roy, brother Richard Roy, grandparents George & Betty Roy and Max & Martha Jones and joins his grandfather Herman Johnson in the eternal life.
