Roy E. Hoover, 82 of Mesa, Arizona, passed to Heaven on July 4th, 2023. He was born June 21, 1941, in Columbus, IN. to Harley and Edell Hoover, and spent his youth there until joining the Army for a tour in Korea. Upon his return home in 1961, he married Gloria Faye Denney. After a few years of delivering mail in bad weather, they moved their family to Mesa in 1967 to attend Arizona State University, and then Pepperdine School of Law where he received his Juris Doctorate in 1978. Roy loved his family and spent his last years doting on his descendants. His leaving has left us with grieving hearts, as he will be missed every day. His family and friends are forever blessed with memories of his kindness, love and counsel.
