Roy was born June 27, 1945, to Joseph Elmer Pattillo and Bessie Beatrice Pattillo (Stringer) in Lubbock, TX. He married Ann Hartnett‐Pattillo on November 29, 1974, at Trinity Church in Lubbock, TX.

As our family sits around trying to come up with words to describe a man that has left such a hole in our hearts, truly an unimaginable task through tears, one thing is certain, Roy was a working man. The man that was called on by family, friends, and strangers to help with just about anything, the GO‐TO Guy. He started working in the grocery business for United at the age of 15 and never stopped working. All things from grocery stores, oil fields, a salesman for company that sold to grocery stores, and then lastly back at United. But the work outside of his “official” jobs were where he shined. Learning carpentry, electrical, and plumbing; which he hated; building playhouses, a windmill, building large additions to houses, and custom cabinetry with meticulous detail. Later changing lifestyles and buying land. Remodeling and adding to an old farmhouse and learning to work the land and the things that go into maintaining that land. Learning about goats became an entertaining hobby, that would occasionally be bred for pets. He had a passion to always be learning, to be building and to be working outside. A man that was stronger than life, nothing stopped him from working. Nothing meant more to him than taking care of his wife, his children, his grandchildren and extended family and friends.

Roy is survived by his wife, Ann Pattillo; children, John and Rashel Thompson, Stacy Pattillo, Amanda and Randall Williams. Grandchildren: Jeremy & Madison (King), Jake, Jonah and Jason Thompson; Sadie, Raylee and Preslee Williams. Great Grandchildren Lyla & Harper Thompson.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Joseph Elmer Pattillo and Bessie Beatrice Pattillo; siblings, Lois Smitherman, Florine Pieper, and Patsy Gary.

Roy passed away on September 17, 2023

Patillos, Roy will be greatly missed, but our happy memories remain of his unparalleled kindness. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Planted with love, and to honor our Uncle Roys memory. Love, Lacretia, Cynthia, and Celeste

My Uncle Roy was born just 20 months before I was (my Mom is Florene), we started life almost like siblings. I have the fondest memories playing together. I have a picture of us playing Cowboys which was one of his favorite things to do way back then. Bye for now

My deepest sympathies to Roy’s family and friends. Roy was a student of mine at Monterey in 1963, which was my first year of teaching. I remember him well for his work ethic and pleasant personality. He was a gem then as he was his entire life.

With loving memories of "Roy Pattillo", an amazing uncle

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Ann there are no words that I can tell you to make you feel better, I wish there were . I can say is hold on to the memories. Talk of him often. Cry when you need to cry but don't to laugh from time to time. Because Roy would love to see you smile and continue to live in your family. My prayers are with each and everyone that this effected. Love you

Uncle Roy will be missed! I will always remember his sweet spirit just like his sister Patsy (our Mom). He always was sincerely interested in what was going on in our lives. Praying for all of his family❣️🙏

I will always remember my Uncle Roy had a smile on his face and a soft chuckle, just like his daddy. He took his time saying whatever was on his mind, which kept me hanging on for more. My older children remember his goats and antique fire engine. I’m really sad to say goodbye.

We are so sorry for your loss. Though I didn't know Roy as well as most, my Daddy never quit telling us what a great man he was and he thought the world of him. I am sure they are catching up in Heaven these days. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Love you all Terre

Uncle Roy will be missed! He always had a smile and such a hard worker. I’m so sorry for the family who has to go on without him. Many blessings for all of them!

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
