Roy Hershberger went home to be with the Lord on Sept. 6, 2025. He passed at his home surrounded by the love of his family, his favorite place to be.

He is survived by his daughters, Amy Osteen, Pamela (Dennis) Stewart and Darla Terrell; his sister, Judy (Bob) Dever; his grandsons, Rob (Karen), Corey (Danielle), Kyle (Cheyenne), Logan (Tawny), Denison, Eric, Kelly (Tony), Scott and Garrin; his great-granddaughter, Riley; his beloved niece, Tawna, who was like a daughter, and her children, Shane, Serena and River, who were like grandchildren; his longtime friend and roommate, Patricia; his bonus daughter, Robin (Ryan), and bonus grandson, Vada; and many others he called family and friends.
