Royce was the son of Robert Fagan Ashford Jr. and Lou Nell Carroll Ashford. He had one daughter, Lindsay Michelle Ashford.

He is also survived by his wife Molly Moss Ashford Stautzenberger and two step daughters, Ginny Hutchinson Wadsworth and Ashley Hutchinson Bullard.

Royce had one sister, Robbie Nell Ashford Chalk, and one brother, Richard Milton Ashford.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, William Oscar Carroll and Jessie Beatrice Ridens Carroll of Chidester, Arkansas and his paternal grandparents, Robert Fagan Ashford Sr. and Minnie Ola Veach Ashford of Shreveport.

He was a 1968 graduate of Woodlawn High School in Shreveport and attended Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, La. and LSU-S in Shreveport.

Royce was a petroleum landman and was head over the land department at Anderson Oil Company in Shreveport. He was a past president of the Ark-La-Tex Oilmens Golf Association and was a member of the Petroleum Club. Royce lived and breathed for oil exploration.

While Royce was an avid golfer, deer and duck hunter, his passion was bass fishing. He always used to say "A bad day fishing is still better than a good day at work." He loved sitting in his boat or on a deer stand, even when the fish weren't biting, just enjoying the day, watching the birds, squirrels, alligators, and deer walking by, just marveling at nature. He truly loved the outdoors.

Cause of death: Brain aneurism.
