On Friday, December 27 ^th , 2019 our hearts were filled with sadness and our lives forever changed as our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend Roy Sheaves passed away peacefully at the Western Memorial Regional Hospital at the age of 83 years.

A loving and devoted husband, Roy shared 53 wonderful years of marriage with his wife Edna Sheaves (nee Taylor) and together they raised two sons Robert (Suzette) Sheaves of Middleton, NS, Derek (Jackie) Sheaves of Regina, Saskatchewan. Roy was a proud poppy, his memories and legacy of love will remain strong and true in the hearts of his grandchildren Robin and James. Roy will also be sadly missed by his brother Alvin (Sharon) Sheaves, brothers and sisters-in-law; Amos White, Rayleen Sheaves, Phyllis (Ron) Parsons, William Jr (Ruth) Taylor, Betty Wilkinson and a large circle of nieces, nephews, extended family and many life long friends.

He was proud of his community and gave countless hours of his time giving back to his home town that he was so proud to be a part of.
