Coy was a devoted husband, father, brother, uncle, and grandfather who always put his family first. He retired from Eaton Corporation after 23 years of dedicated service, where his strong work ethic and kind-hearted nature left a lasting impact on his colleagues. Coy had a natural talent for working on engines and mowers, and he took great pride in his work, often offering his skills to friends, neighbors, and even strangers in need. Whether it was fixing a lawnmower, lending a helping hand, or simply spending time with loved ones, he found joy in being of service.

His devotion to his children and grandchildren knew no bounds, and he radiated happiness whenever he was in their presence. Coy's smile and laughter were truly contagious, filling every room with warmth and joy. He believed in the power of kindness and lived his life as a testament to the importance of helping others without expecting anything in return. His unwavering love, generosity, and compassion will be remembered by all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Coy's memory and legacy will forever be a beacon of love, perseverance, and dedication to those he held dear. Though his absence leaves a void, his influence and the values he instilled will continue to guide and inspire those who were touched by his life.
