Roy was sadly taken from this world too soon on 4rd February 2023; aged 75 years.
Dearly loved husband of Sally for over 50 years. Loving father of Stuart, Peter and Christine, Sarah and Bill, Richard and Jo. Much loved and devoted Grandad to Ella-Rose, Jack, Khloe, Blake and Darcy. A loved son of the late Frieda and Jack Davis. Loved brother of Gail and Ted and the late Jill.
Our family is truly heartbroken but knowing you’re sitting watching the races with Pepper perched by your side, gives us comfort.
You will be dearly missed for ever.

Hi Sally and family, I would like to express my deepest sympathy to you at this time. Roy was always kind, helpful, caring, and he would go above and beyond for anyone. I knew him from the horse world, he offered so much expertise advice that I will carry with me forever. He went above and beyond helping me with horses, gave his time and effort constantly. I will always remember and appreciate everything Roy has done for me and my family. My thoughts are with you and your family at this time.
