ObituaryJul 24, 2018  OBITUARY: Denis "Rosie" Lee Royer 60 of Irasburg passed away suddenly on July 10th 2018 at UVM Medical Center in Burlington Vermont. Denis was born on February 23, 1958 to the late Philip "Puss" and Bernadette (Provencher) Royer from Irasburg.

He is survived by his wife Lori (McCoy) Royer of Irasburg and their daughter Kristin (Royer) Byers and Anthony of Irasburg and son Caleb Royer of Irasburg. He is also survived by his oldest son Denis Royer II and his wife Richa of Sutton. Denis also included Emmitt Simpson who was like a son to the Royer family and his Fiance Mariah Bradley of Glover. His grandchildren Aubrie and Tyler Byers of Irasburg, Audrey, Denis III, Mattie, Josie, and Naydean Royer of Sutton. His nephew Ed Royer and his great nephew Joshua. Denis also has a one sister Patrica (Royer) Poutre and her husband Alfred of Irasburg, and two brothers Richard Royer and his wife Valerie of Irasburg, and Philip Royer and his wife Doris of Orleans. Also many close nieces, nephews, family and friends.

Denis had many things he enjoyed in life from motorcycle riding, snowmobiling, four wheeling, deer hunting "staying at Keithie's deer camp", horseback riding, bowling, rabbit hunting and any other laughable fun activities. He would give the shirt off his back for anyone except his wolf shirt. Denis never left the family farm even after his parents both passed away he took the farm and kept it going. Denis was a well-known member of the community and a longtime member of the American Legion in Orleans. Almost anyone you talked to knew him in some way shape or form whether it be from stories or seeing him. He always made people smile. He loved going for night time four wheeler rides with two of his grandchildren Aubrie and Tyler. Most of the time they would fight over who was going to drive. His children's close friends he always thought of them as being "his" children and would always check up on them or include them in family functions. Denis loved everyone who came into his life and after five minutes of meeting him he had changed your life some way. He will be missed by many and love by all.

Some memorable moments: Pool crashing, red wig ridding, Halloween scaring, mud bogs in Johnson, corn field mud bogs (adding water with the honey wagon), photo bombing, water fights in the parlor, and so many countless more.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Mary Wright Halo Foundation; 1073 Upper Quarry Rd Derby VT, 05829
