Roy Magruder Obituary
Phoenix - Roy Edward Magruder, 65, passed away June 15, 2019.
He was born in Phoenix and spent all his school years in Phoenix participating eagerly in all sports.
He was known widely for his years as a key employee of an electrical sign manufacturing company and later as the owner of his own electrical sign manufacturing, sales and service company. In recent years he lived in Maricopa and was employed at UltraStar Entertainment Center Harrah's Ak-Chin in Maricopa.
Roy is survived by his bride of three months Gail and her sons; his children, Lee, Max, twins Daniel and Dana; Sister Deanna Magruder-Russ (Michael); father Denton (Wilma); mother Betty Baldovin (John).
He was predeceased by sisters Glenda and Dianna.
Roy had charisma which resulted in his being a terrific salesman, and though not a perfect person, he had a truly kind heart and a special love for animals and folks who had fallen on hard times.
A memorial service is being planned and will be held in Maricopa at a time and date to be determined.

You never said 'm leaving
You never said Good bye
You were gone before I knew it
Only God knew why
A million times I needed you
A million tears I cried
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died
In life, I loved you dearly
In death, I love you still
In my heart you hold a place
That no one could ever fill
It broke my heart to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you
The day God took you home
Love Me

I have nothing but fond memories of Roy throughout high school. Roy was always up beat and the nicest guy you could have known. Sad to hear of his passing.

Roy was one of the kindest people I've had the chance to be associated with. All through our elementary and high school years, he was thoughtful and considerate of others. I can only imagine what he was like as an adult. Blessings and Peace to his family. Debbie Childers-Carter, Phoenix, AZ

I haven't seen Roy in so many years, but the Roy I remember was a great guy, liked by all. Always a ready laugh. And warm and kind to everyone. Rest in peace Roy and say hello to Randy and Brad for me. My sincere condolences to his wife and family.
