James Royster Obituary

James Fredrick Royster III (Jay) was a rare and beautiful soul. He lived with authenticity, kindness, and a fierce love for his community, always standing up for those who needed it most. Incredibly intelligent, effortlessly funny, and endlessly compassionate, Jay had a way of making everyone feel seen and valued.

To know him was an honor, to love him was a gift. His spirit will forever be a part of us.

Jay is survived by his beloved partner, Shelby, and his brother, Troy. Love you forever, Jay.
