On December 10, 2020 Roy Eugene Moxley passed away at the age of 63, surrounded by loving family. Roy was born May 7th, 1957 in Poughkeepsie, New York, the son of Arthur and Ann Moxley. The family moved to Longmont, CO, where Roy met the love of his life, Beth Legere. The two were married on December 30, 1978, and enjoyed almost 42 years of marriage. Together they have 4 children and 12 grandchildren.
He earned his degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Colorado in 1979. Engineering took him all over the United States and world, as he relocated, and traveled. While working for GE, Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, and Siemens, he and Beth lived in Colorado, New York, Iowa, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, California, Wisconsin, Washington, and Idaho. After 39 years in his field, Roy retired in 2018 in order to spend more time with Beth and his many grandchildren. Service was central to Roy’s identity. As a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he served as Bishop, High Councilman, High Priest Group Leader, Home Teacher, Young Men’s President, Sunday School and Seminary Teacher, and Family History Consultant. Serving as Assistant Nursery Leader was always his favorite calling however. Perhaps this is because his duties consisted of snack coordination, and soothing crying babies, two of his greatest skills.
