Roy Props Obituary

Roy Kemper Props Jr., 75, of Richmond, VA, passed away on May 23, 2024 at his home in Henrico, surrounded by loved ones. Born on August 30, 1948 in Richmond, VA to Roy K. Props Sr. and Rosa W. Props. He was a beloved husband, father, friend, and mentor who will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Roy graduated from North Carolina State University in 1971 with the goal of helping others, making his community a better place, and bringing joy wherever he went. Roy married Karen (Stephenson) in 1987, and they raised two children, Andrew and Michael, in a home filled with love and laughter.

The simple things brought Roy the most joy. He loved spending time outdoors, sports, visiting new places, and creating new things. But his role as a father is what he cherished most. He will be remembered as a loving husband, father, and friend.

Following his wishes, there will not be a public service, but a private Celebration of Life.

In lieu of flowers, we invite contributions to The Musella Foundation for Brain Tumor Research (or The Brain Tumor Charity).
