Roy Smith Passey, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend was called home July 5, 2003 at the young age of 64 while doing his "semi-weekly laps with the lawn mower".

Roy was born January 28, 1939 in Georgetown, Idaho to Newell Beck Passey and Mary Olive Smith. He was the ninth of 11 children. He married his high-school sweetheart, Lois Ruth Bartschi in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple on August 15, 1958. She is the love of his life.
