Roy Conrad Fath passed away on Saturday, February 16, 2019 at his home at the age of 86. Roy was born to George W. Fath and Leta E. (Fry) Fath on May 22, 1932 in Tonkawa. Roy lived his whole life in and around the Tonkawa area having been raised southwest of Tonkawa on the family farm. He attended Cottage Hill Elementary School and graduated from Tonkawa High School in 1950.
Roy married Donna Rose McDaniel on February 13, 1952 and together they had two children, Nina Kay and Tony. They were married 45 years before her passing. In December 1997 Roy married Ona Mae Fruits. As a young man, Roy worked for a short time at Gruner Bits but always farmed. He enjoyed working on the farm, traveling, and telling jokes but perhaps his greatest joy came from teasing his grandchildren.
