Katrina Kappen wrote a sympathy message

“Mr. Elswick (who made me call him Roy) sponsored a portion of my state gifts for Mrs. America (previously scheduled for this past August). I am saddened to hear of his passing at such a young age. I am also sad that he won’t see his products shared at Mrs. America once we can have the pageant. Roy was the warmest and kindest man. He is such an influential person to our community and our beautiful state. I will forever cherish meeting him and the big hug we shared. Katrina - Mrs. WV”

Kelsey Zimmerman wrote a sympathy message

“Roy's daughter Cathy and I have been friends since we were kids, and Roy was always a wonderful, generous man who deeply loved his children and made sure all us friends felt welcome in his home. When I was just starting out as a musician in my early teens, Roy gifted me several Bela Fleck CDs to inspire me through his own love of music, and I never forgot that kindness. I still play music today, often thinking back on that important push. My prayers are with his family and all who loved him.”
