Dr. Coy graduated from Central Methodist College in Fayette, Mo., and then went on to attend Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine where he specialized in general surgery and family practice. Dr. Coy and his family moved to Nashville in 1968 where he began practicing medicine with Dr. Ralph Kelly. He continued practicing medicine with Dr. Ralph Kelly and Dr. Gary Goforth for 44 years. Although medicine was his life, he had a passion for boating, golfing and spending time with his family.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Mary Marlene, nee Dome, Coy, whom he married on Aug. 13, 1961, in Brunswick, Mo., and who died Sept. 28, 2007; and his parents, Jasper Newton and Mildred Elizabeth, nee Tiltetson, Coy.
