Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Roy Lynn Mathis, age 74, of Peachtree City, GA passed away peacefully on December 30, 2017 under the loving care of his wife, Anna, and the tender care of Southwest Christian Care Hospice.
Originally from San Marcos, TX, Roy’s early career in Sr. Management with Aluma Systems of Toronto, Canada, in the heavy construction field, moved him to LA, San Francisco, Phoenix and finally to Georgia in 1993. Roy’s 2nd career in Real Estate began in 1998 with Century21, The Home Source, RE/MAX Results and eventually, Harry Norman, Realtors in 2008. Wherever he practiced, he enjoyed success and amazing long-term friendships with his clients and co-Realtors. Roy was always known to brighten a room, bring a smile and laughter wherever he went. He was an active member of the Fayette County Board of Realtors, representing his affiliation with the Harry Norman, Realtors “family”, in Peachtree City.
Roy married his wife, Anna Marie (Trujillo) in 1975 and they were inseparable from the start, eventually even working together as a Real Estate team until his retirement in 2014. Roy is also survived by his sons, Kevin Lynn Mathis (Fonda) of Seguin, TX, Chad Eric Mathis (Amber) Virginia Beach, VA, and grandsons Kyle Mathis & Brandon Mathis, of Seguin and Virginia Beach, respectively.
The Mathis family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to the staff of Southwest Christian Care Hospice, who provided extraordinary care to Roy during his final days. Thanks also to Kindred Home Health Care & Hospice and Touching Hearts at Home, for their exceptional care.

We had many laughs at life and it carried us through the years.I can not say enough about you Roy…My family is in heaven with you now and you are proudly sitting around tell new jokes and sharing family stories.
