Roy Constible Obituary
He was a restless soul, constantly on the move with ideas for new opportunities and writing projects. He instilled a sense of intellectual curiosity in his children that serves them to this day-even if the lessons sometimes came in the form of unwelcome summer "homework."
Roy was a great lover of music and the people who play it, collecting enough musician friends at one point to host a wild 24+ hour jam session / party at his home.
He also had a soft spot for dogs. This included a black lab named Smok'y who convinced Roy that he was The Smartest Dog Ever.
Roy is survived by his siblings Brenda, Cindy, John, Bill, and Vicki, along with his four children of whom he was inordinately proud: Jesse, Sarah, Sam, and Juanita.
In accordance with his final wishes, Roy's remains will be scattered in the Great Smoky Mountains, in his home state of Tennessee.

I think of the first game of tag, on western with Sis. I remember Roy going through a plate glass window at the church next door. I don't know how he came out of it without injuries. |He is now enjoying the Smokies, see ya soon,

Sonny, just got home from spending the day in the mountains. Made me think of you and the times we spent there. Missing you extra today. I'll hike to Abrams for us this spring.

When ever I watch UT play a game, I will always remember the times the 2 of us were able to watch a football game with our mom. Roy and I never sat close to her because we would be sure to come out with bruises.

Roy was a great writer. He enjoyed visiting with friends at the Senior Center of Leesburg.

Roy was a long-distance, email friend of my Mom's (Ellen). I got to talking to Roy when her health declined; first talking about Mom, then sort of taking over for her, corresponding with Roy several times per week. We switched from using Mom's old email account to my own, and continued even after she passed in the spring. I have to say I grew fond of our chats. I've missed them over the past 5 weeks or so- and I'll miss Roy. So long Roy, may you rest in peace! As Roy himself would sometimes sign off with, "we gone!"

Once when I was a wee lad, we were swimming in a friend's pool. I accidentally walked to fat and sank in the deep end like stone! He was socializing, but he noticed and immediately dove in and saved me!
