Douglas MacGregor Roy

Douglas MacGregor Roy, 65, passed away Tuesday, March 17, 2026 at Swanton Valley Center. Born on October 26, 1960, in Columbus, OH, to John and Elaine (Lugibill) Roy, Douglas lived a life centered on his strong faith in Christ and time with his three children. He graduated from Northview High School and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in Communication from Bowling Green State University. A natural performer, Douglas found great joy on stage, most notably in his beloved role as Santa at the Valentine Theater, where he created lasting memories for countless families. His laughter and unmistakable voice had a way of filling a room, bringing comfort, warmth, and a sense of peace to everyone around him. 

Douglas is survived by his mother, Elaine (Lugibill) Roy; children, Jamie (Ryan) Molloseau, Erin (Shannon Newnes) Roy, and Sean (Peyton) Roy; siblings, Michelle Bryan and Carrie (Gary) King; grandchildren, Brielle, Elijah, and Hailey Molloseau.

Douglas was preceded in death by his father, John Roy.
