***MY STEP SON***
It is with a sad heart today that I have to report the passing of my step-son Roy Coley. He was flown to Utah a few days ago from his home in Green River Wyoming due to a massive stroke. He passed away this morning at the University of Utah hospital from complications from the stroke.

My love and prayers go out to all of Roy's family.
You were loved and will be missed by so many.
