Roy Lilley, Jr. 

February 12, 1927 - November 24, 2022

Roy Lilley Jr. was born in Sapulpa, Oklahoma on 2/12/1927. He passed away on 11/24/2022 at the age of 95 in Centennial, Colorado.

He joined the Army after high school and after his discharge, attended Texas A&M University, graduating with a degree in Petroleum Engineering. While at the university, he was in the ROTC program and joined the Air Force Reserves after graduation. He was a proud "Texas Aggie" his entire life, cheering for every team the school had.

Roy worked for only one company--Lufkin Industries. His job took him and his family from the States to Venezuela, then Canada, and finally retiring in Denver, Colorado.

He was preceded in death by his wife Frances, who he was married to for 62 years. He is survived by four children: Gary, Joy, Wayne, and Diane; six grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren.
