Christopher James Roy died in the Line of Duty on November 28, 2005, enroute to an emergency call. Chris, also known as Ol' Roy by his closest friends, lived his entire life in Calera Alabama. He was a young man devoted to living his life to it's fullest, helping his neighbor, and by honoring his word. Chris modeled himself after his heroes, people whom he admired, that showed strength and integrity in their actions, not their word's.

Chris was a man who would do what he said and said what he believed. He aspired to follow in his Grandfather's footsteps and lead the City of Calera in its prosperous future. Although his life was cut short, he left an imprint in the hearts of hundreds of people. He accomplished more in his 25 years than many people accomplish in a lifetime. Chris enjoyed making people feel good, be it through his genuine smile, a pat on the back or a firm handshake.

He shared his time willingly by helping those that needed help. Chris leaves behind, his parents James & Joyce Roy, brother Richard Roy, grandparents George & Betty Roy and Max & Martha Jones and joins his grandfather Herman Johnson in the eternal life.

If roses grow in Heaven Lord please pick a bunch for me, place them in my sons arms and tell him they’re from me. Tell him that I love him and miss him very much, and when he turns to smile, place a kiss upon his cheek and hold him for awhile. Remembering him is easy, I do it every day but there's an ache within my heart that will never go away.

"In The Line of Duty." Those are words that people really need to think about. Everytime an Officer walks out of his home to go to work, he doesn't know if he will be coming home or not. Do they get the respect that they really deserve? NO!!! These Officers need a loving & understanding wife that supports him & his job. These Officers take their jobs seriously, well the good ones do. "To Serve & To Protect." Did he do his job? YES!!! This man upheld his oathe. How do I know? I'm a mother of a P... » read more

I knew Chris when he was only three years old. What a hand full. I use to babysit him and his brother and loved every minute of it. Chris and my son were great friends when they were young and had great times together. We miss you big guy and talk about you often.

I didn't know Christopher Roy, but he must have been a great guy and a great fire fighter. To his mother and father, god bless you. It only get better with time. I was Captain of the Savannah Fire Department,but now I am retired. God Bless you and the family.

Tozer stated: "It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply." What deeper pain can there be.than that of losing a child? How greatly must be our blessings. We lost our son, Adam, almost thirteen years ago. I have set up a memorial page for him, if anyone would care to visit. http://www.christianmemorials.com/tributes/adam-godwin/ If you would like to take part in a new grief support discussion forum, please feel free to join us in the new forum ... » read more

My dearest Chris, Here we are today, only a few weeks shy of the 4th anniversary of your passing. I miss you more each passing day.

To Christopher's mom. I didn't know your son but go online for Kelsey Briggs, as I know her aunt. I saw your sons memorial and was just touched! His smile just brightens the page. I can imagine how deep your loss is and the pain you still feel. I lost my dad and it has been 22 years and the pain is like yesterday. Every holiday, birthday reminds me of him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May he be at peace in heaven.
