Roy Campos Jr. Funeral Fund
Donation protected
This fund is being made to help with funeral expenses and with family expenses of Roy Campos. Roy was born on March 27th 1981; he was given his wings on February 7th 2016 at 2pm in the intersection of Tully and white Rd. he was 34 years young. Roy is survived by his mother Kari, his two younger brothers Benny and Nicholas, as well as his older sister Jessica and his younger sister Susan, whom he had just recently met about three years ago. His passing has been very difficult to bare. He was the families center, the man of the house, there inspiration, there father figure. Nothing will ever fill the empty space he left in our hearts.
From the very beginning Roy took the heavy burden of being the family’s provider, for those of you that knew Roy, you knew that he didn’t go out much because he wanted to be working so that he could show his brothers how to be a hardworking , honest and very loving man. He sacrificed his own happiness so that his siblings could live a care free and happy life. Anytime they needed him he was there, not with anger or a discussion, but to listen and to give.
By all right Roy should have been a trouble maker, trying to go out and make the quick buck. Instead he decided to take a different route; he studied very hard and was the first man in his family to graduate from high school. He then worked a full time job and went to college at the same time to show his younger brothers that it actually could be done. Roy then did something that his family truly believes showed his character and where his heart called him to, he joined the Army. He didn’t join to go and build or to work on cars or to sit behind a desk. He joined the infantry and was a part of the tenth mountain division. Which is a light infantry division in the United States Army based out of Fort Drum, New York. Originally constituted as a mountain warfare unit, the division was the only one of its size to receive intense specialized training for fighting in mountainous and arctic conditions. Today, the 10th honors that legacy by retaining the "Mountain" designation. Since 2001, the division and its four combat brigades have seen over 20 deployments to both Iraq and Afghanistan in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
Roy left the army with honorable discharges after two tours so that he could be closer to his family, and so that he could show his siblings how being a part of the military took an already strong man and turned him into a person who did not falter, who could not be intimidated, and who could conquer all that stood before him. The family was very proud to say that there older brother was an infantryman because they knew that that’s what REAL men who loved there country wanted to be, he joined the military to SERVE his country, not so that his country could serve him.
When Roy got home he went back to being the man that he was, he went to work, went to school and took care of his family, helping all of his brothers and sisters to purchase their own vehicles and when I say help purchase, I mean to pay off and give for free. Never asking for anything in return. The one thing that Roy did for himself was getting his motorcycle. The family believes that besides drawing in his notebooks, or taking pictures with his camera, that this is what Roy did that made him happy, and the family is happy knowing that Roy passed away doing what he loved.
The family asks that before you consider donating, that you ask yourself if you were in a position like Roy’s, would the outcome be different? Or rather how great a man it would take to be able to go thru what Roy went thru and still be an honest, loving, and hardworking man. If you did not know Roy personally but you knew his mom or his brothers and sisters, before donating ask yourself what you think of the sibling you know, think about how cool or funny or honest you think the person is and what makes this person special to you and why? Then times that by infinity! And that’s how you know Roy was as a person, brother, son, and friend. He inspired all of his family to be as funny, caring, and strong as he was. Anything you can give will be appreciated greatly by the family. thank you. and Rest in peace Roy Campos
