Death

Where's the inline citation or reference?

Just curious since there's nothing at this time. 2600:8800:785:2A00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 00:19, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Some things that might be worth adding

Here’s some pieces of information that can be added on to his article:

Roy was rushed to the University of Vermont Medical Center on Tuesday for emergency surgery due to complications from a procedure he had in September. His parents, Lee and Brenda Roy, and his sister Tobi were by his side when he passed away Thursday afternoon.

A family spokesperson said the 45-year-old died in Vermont from a complication from a procedure he need to maintain the quality of life he was living as a quadriplegic.

SportsCenter 5's Mike Lynch reported that Roy was recently diagnosed with bladder cancer and had undergone treatment at Dana Farber.

Future Edits

I am planning on making changes to this article very soon. The majority of what I plan to do is add information; I think what is already on this page is very useful and I plan to keep all of it, though I believe there are many content gaps. I will be updating information on the Travis Roy Foundation, as well as adding a section on Roy's public speaking career. There was also much to be added about his various honors, as well as his personal life. Outside of content, there are many small grammatical errors that I plan to fix as well as citation errors and gaps. Finally, with everything else added, I plan to update the lead section to better reflect Roy's life as a whole, as well as adding a picture of him.
