Nicolas Gregory Roye, 31, passed away Tuesday, May 31, 2022 in Caddo Mills, TX. He was born November 28, 1990 in Fort Worth, Texas to Gregory Roye and Melissa Elleven Mansfield. He grew up in Fort Worth, and he graduated from W. E. Boswell High School in 2009. After high school he attended Tarrant County College and Methodist Hospital of Dallas where he completed the Paramedic Education Program. He went to work for Air Evac Lifeteam in Hillsboro, TX as a Flight Paramedic, making 212 flights, and earning the nickname “Sky Doctor.” He also worked for Teddy Bear Air at Cook Children's Hospital.
Nic was engaged to Sarah Epps of Caddo Mills, TX and was thrilled about their future together. He was a member of Pathway Church in Burleson, TX. He enjoyed golfing, hunting, camping and anything with his children, family and friends. Growing up, he was on the high school golf team, was an avid violinist and was a member of the Texas Boys Choir. Nic was always the life of the party and could put a smile on anyone’s face yet always took time to help anyone who needed him, including saving the lives of too many to count and tutoring others for their national testing to become EMTs and Paramedics. His smile was infectious and he genuinely cared for all he knew, loved and served.
