It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Roy Matthews, who was born on February 4, 1953, and left us on July 22, 2024, in Monroe, Louisiana, United States.

Roy was the beloved son of Freddy and Sally Matthews, and the loving husband of Reba Matthews, whom he married in 1974. Together, they raised five wonderful children: Mekei, Markus, Ladonnouis, Royce, and Roy Jr. He was also a proud grandfather to 10 grandchildren.

Roy attended Tallulah High School and later went on to work at R & R Mechanic Services, where he was known for his hard work and dedication.

Outside of work, Roy had a passion for cooking and spending time with his family. He could often be found in the kitchen, whipping up delicious meals for his loved ones or enjoying quality time with his children and grandchildren.

Unfortunately, Roy's life was cut short by a sudden heart attack. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him, but his memory will continue to live on in the hearts of his family and friends.

Rest in peace, Roy. You will always hold a special place in our hearts.
