Roy Bishop

Mr. Roy Bishop, age 44, of Nashville, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, October 18th, 2018 in Nashville.

Roy was born in Battle Creek , MI on March 3, 1974, the son of Maynerd and Brenda (Steffensen) Bishop. Roy spent his early childhood in the Battle Creek area, until the family relocated to Northern Lower Michigan where he completed his education.

He was the husband of Megan (Thornton) Bishop. Roy and Megan met and fell in love in the Manistee area. After spending a short time up north, they relocated to the Nashville area for better opportunities for their family. The couple was married on October 18, 2013 Hastings MI. After settling, Roy began work at I.I. Stanley in Battle Creek, producing parts for the auto industry. Then in 2017 he accepted a position with Cargill in Lake Odessa where he worked as a Line Operator.

Roy loved his family and spending time with them was always his first priority. During the summer months Roy loved to take his kids fishing on Jordan Lake, and during the early fall months he could be found at Tippy Dam salmon fishing. He was an avid fan of the University of Michigan and the Detroit Lions. Roy was an attentive and hard worker who took great pride in taking care of the needs of his family.

Roy is survived by his beloved wife Megan, two daughters, Brooke Bishop, & Karmyn Thornton,
four sons Seth, Braylon, Bentley, & Bryce Bishop, his parents Maynerd (Brenda) Bishop, sister Mary (Wayne) Golden, sisters in law Jamie Dewitt and Charla Bishop, Mother and father in-law Paul (Pandora) Thornton, his nieces and nephews Addam Bishop, Megan Blatz, and Izabelle & Gabriel Collins.
