Mr. Roy Paul Felix, age 61, of New Orleans, LA, was ushered into Heaven by the Angels on the 30th of April after a long battle with Cancer.
Roy was born in New Orleans, LA to the late Albert Anthony Felix, Sr. and Lee Pearl Duplessis. He grew up in New Orleans as one of five children and graduated from John F. Kennedy Senior High School in 1976. Roy spent his entire life in his hometown until the last few months when he moved to Stockbridge, GA with his sister Lisa. He worked for Overnite Transportation since before they were acquired by UPS. He retired from UPS a little over a year ago after many years.
Roy was a loving brother and always enjoyed spending time with his brothers and sisters. He had a love for music of all sorts. Roy was dedicated to his church and serving the Lord. He was a faithful brother in The Church of the Living God of Unity. He was known to be instrumental in the audio recording of services and musical events. Roy will be sorely missed by a host of family and friends.
Along with his parents, Roy is preceded in death by his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other relatives. Roy is survived by his sisters and their spouses: Lisa and Albert Jackson, of Stockbridge, GA and Gina and Finn Ahlberg of Kennesaw, GA; his brothers: Floyd Felix and Albert Anthony Felix, Jr. both of New Orleans, LA; his nieces and nephews: Tiffany Ahlberg, Bethany Ahlberg, Sean Ahlberg, and Finn Ahlberg, all of Kennesaw, GA; his Aunt Josephine Duplessis of Flagstaff, AZ; and other relatives.

Roy was truly my brother in Christ. He was a man with strong convictions. Roy was a friend to many and would help any way he could. He was dependable, hard working and a “comic”. Family and friends, I know the Lord is faithful in all His ways. My prayers are with you all.

Deacon Lyle Henderson says
I was so saddened to hear of Brother Roy’s passing. He was a good man. I have so many fond memories of working with him with the media ministry, for many years, at the church. He and I would disagree on how loud a mic should be or whose mic should be turned up/down. We had each other’s back, correcting mistakes in the sound booth before anyone even knew. It was fun and I wouldn’t trade those times at all. We laughed together. Each Sabbath, before and after church, we talked about current events, argued, and celebrated the things we agreed on. He was like the older brother that I came to know later in my life.
I had to break the news to my 10-year old son. Bro Roy was his buddy. He knew him since he was born. He treated him like he was his own nephew or little brother. They always talked about their love of good food, as they both loved to eat lol. In fact, Once he discovered musical talent in any of the kids, he encouraged them and showed so much excitement at the least thing they did. I know for sure that all the little kids loved him.
I will miss his dry humor, his compassion for others, his attention to children and the elderly and his genuine stubborn but loving spirit. When Roy made up his mind to do anything, it was next to impossible to change it. I’m glad he decided to become an active member of our church in New Orleans. The Holy days and feasts will be different, knowing he’s not somewhere celebrating too. Our lives were forever changed because he was part of it.
He was a gentleman and his actions inspired me to be more of one as well. I saw him open doors for ladies and make sure to be the last one to leave to make sure they were all safe. I saw his old fashioned spirit of not wanting them to even empty the trash because he figured it was not comely for a lady.
His character was impeccable and his integrity was unmatched. His faith was strong and his spirituality was inspiring. I will miss texting him, sharing our pictures with him and giving him updates. He is definitely another brother, in my opinion, who is gone too soon.
Lisa, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
May the peace and comfort of the Almighty be with you.
Noritta D Williams says
As a member of Roy’s Church I have had the pleasure of knowing him for many years is a brother and a friend. I’m praying that the precious memories of Roy will comfort the hearts of all that knew him and loved him. Sincere condolences to the Felix family
Sister Veronica Brown says
Brother Roy Felix was my brethren, and I was his sisteren. We would laugh everytime we said that to each other..,our special name for each others😊 Brother Roy was special, unique, intelligent, determined, hardworking, dedicated , patient, and many other attributes. And it is a truth that he loved music, Shekinah Glory was one of his favorite gospel artist. There was many times he came and told me, you did a good job sis, when I would sing in services. Roy Felix love Romans 8:28 scriptures,and that’s the way I remembered his birthday. Brother Roy was so funny if he could ban high fructose, corn starch, and syrup oh, he would have. Yes, he loved good eating and cooking as well. He lived Playing on his guitar, too. There is so much I can say about Brother Roy, because he was in my life over 20, and a part of the Church of the Living God in Unity. I say to the Felix’s family, you are in my prayers and thoughts, continue to be strong, and this too will pass. Peace. Love and joy, and as my dear brethren would say “STAY BLESSED”
