A Coach you can depend on and love all people.. We was very fortunate to have Coach Eaton. GOD BLESS him forever more.

Roy was a beautiful person. Too bad to hear of his passing. May he rest in peace. I can remember having him as a teacher at Fitch High School. Hello Debbie. Do you remember me from Electric Boat. Email me if you can [email protected] Would like to get together with you.

It takes a special person to work with young people, encourage them daily to work hard and be their best, and offer their friendship and advice long past high school. Roy worked many jobs to supplement his income because he donated so much if his time to the teams he coached. I want to thank him for setting me on the right path, and especially thank Deb Eaton for sharing her husband so much in the early days and her unwavering support of this great man and his dreams. To be sure, he was tough...

Coach Roy Eaton will be deeply missed, by me and many, many others. As a high school coach, he challenged us to reach farther and to be our absolute best. He taught us about teamwork, commitment, discipline and how the power of brotherly love can result in amazing accomplishments. At the time, a lot of us complained - the pain was too great, the work too hard. But Roy knew then what a lot of us didn't know at the time - he was helping boys become good men. Later in life, we reconnected...

Roy was a true influencer in many of our lives. Thank you Roy for paving a road of honor, integrity and respect.

We were so sorry to hear of Coach Roy's passing. He approached life and work with such tenacity and determination that was unrivaled. He gave so much enjoyment and many cherished memories to all of us. He was such a very giving person who cared for all who came to him, students, teachers, and athletes alike. His commitment to the sport of wrestling was unparalleled. His volunteerism at St. Bernard's yielded a varsity sport recognition that resulted in, state, regional, and junior national...

Mr. Roy Eaton continues to be that inspiration through his life's achievements and as the coach that drove us to our best abilities, when there was no more to give. The seeds he planted through his mentoring as Friend and Teacher will shine through the hearts of those he touched now and until then. God Bless

Roy Eaton was a kind and wonderful person. I was fortunate to have him as a teacher and a mentor. He became close friends with my brother and my family. He was an inspiration to me. He will now be an Angel in Heaven.

To the Eaton families what a nice coach and person he was to me. When I came to St. Bernard he make sure I join his team, when I could no longer go on he was disappointed, expect me to do more than just wrestling, I went on to Fitch, always though of Roy how close he was to his team, school. GOD Bless him for lifting me up when I was down.
