Rancel “Preach” Roy, age 74, of Windsor, Kentucky, passed away on Saturday, April 4, 2026, at his home.

He was a man of faith, humor, kindness, and great strength. He loved God, his family, yard work, visiting, and anything to do with automobiles. He had many jobs throughout his life, but his passion was in the automotive industry.

Preach is survived by his wife, Pamela Roy; and children, Donald (and Debra) Roy, Edward (and Sharon) Roy, Angelia Williams, and Andrew Roy. He has eight grandchildren, with two of them having the honor of being pallbearers, Christopher Roy and Michael Williams; a sister, Phyllis Hampton; and many nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Avon and Nellie Roy; a sister, Josephine Roy; and a brother, Farley Roy.

While Preach will no longer be rocking on his front porch, his memory will live on through all the lives he touched.
