Royce was my hero said his sister, he always looked after me as kids. And the best mother- Father a man could ever be to his children. He was a hard working man, his trade was Fencing, our father raised him to be a provider at Mills Fencing Co Victorville California where he learned a life long trade and was the best line man there was for his trade. He went on to teach his nephew Ricky how to build fence in Ashland Oregon where he met the love of his life Sharlene Shirey. They built a fence for her and it was ❤️ love at first sight. Thirteen years they had together. His son in law Adam said , Royce was a great man who loved his Daughter very much. They were once lost, but then found. It was the love of friendship he had for people, you could not explain it by words, but could only see it with your eyes. I could say a lot , not many people would agree, but in my eyes and in Jehovah’s eyes Royce might have changed to a more humble man out here in Colorado. They say his eyes lit up when Brooklinn his granddaughter walked in the room. Or the smile came across his cheeks . It seemed like he could finally call or have a place to call Home. In the short time I knew Royce he was great to us. Much love always from our hearts with his Colorado family. We all love you and will truly miss you. Psalm 37:29
THE RIGHTEOUS WILL POSSESS THE EARTH AND THEY WILL LIVE FOREVER ON IT”
SEE YOU IN PARADISE MY BROTHER …………..IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE…………………
