Roy Boyer Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Roy was a graduate of Wadsworth High School Class of 1982, and attended Northside Christian Church. He was the owner and operator of Wadsworth Towing for 24 years. Roy loved being with his family, woodworking, metal working, working on cars, 4-Wheeling, collecting Hot Wheels and gardening. He was known for helping anyone he could, and was a great resource to the entire Wadsworth community. Roy also loved anything M.A.S.H., the Three Stooges and practical jokes. He never met a stranger and was greatly appreciated by all of the area safety forces. With all he did, he never wanted to take credit for doing and helping, and never liked asking for help. Roy enjoyed volunteering at Key Church, especially with the "Touch-A-Truck" program. One of his favorite activities was delivering doughnuts to his business associates at Christmas time.
Preceded in death by his uncle, David Bucklew, Roy is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Candice (Chris) Sombati; son and daughter-in-law, Corey (Hannah) Boyer; grandchildren, Tristan, Raenah, Colton, Sariah and Cassidy; and his former wife, Linda Boyer; twin sister, Robin (Bert) Hinkle; and his dogs, Buss and Erin. There are cousins, numerous friends and business associates also surviving.
The family will receive friends from 2 to 8 p.m. on Friday, April 29th at the Hilliard-Rospert Funeral Home, 174 N. Lyman St. in Wadsworth, where Funeral service will be conducted at 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 30th. Interment will be in Hillcrest Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in care of Hilliard-Rospert Funeral Home to assist with final expenses.

Roy was my friend. I do not have or do Facebook or twitter etc. So when I tried to leave a not for my friend early on I was heart broken I could not.
Again Roy was my friend. A person need not a certain number of friends, just certain number of friends in this world.
Roy was one of those friends. He was a good, hard working, God fearing man. He would spend time with this richest and the best, as well as the poorest and worst and treat no one different. ( If that isn't Christ like I do not know what is)...
Roy epitomized God and Jesus in all he did for others and his life of serving. I am proud and blessed to have known him, worked for him, and called him a friend....
Rest Well Brother. I will see you again.
As for Roy's family- Roy is in heaven I have no doubt. He was a great man who loved you all and talked about you often. He was one of the most Christ like men I have had the pleasure and privilege of knowing. He Loves you all and will be waiting for you.
Regards,
The Guy Who Interviewed in a Suit (Roy thought that was hilarious, but he hired me anyway)

One late evening Roy and I stood at a monument in Washington DC completely quite, the only sound was the water falls. We walked to the Lincoln and the Wall only to figure it was 2am. And we needed to get back. One of the times I was blessed being a friend of Roy´s

Years ago, Roy pulled me out of some predicament that I can´t even remember. Since then, he smiled and waved to me every single time I saw him in town or passed him in his truck. God bless him "real good."

It is said if you help one person have a better life, you have had a successful life. By that measure Roy was an immense success! It was a pleasure to make his acquaintance and at this time condolences to his family and many friends.
