Roy McMechen Obituary

With solemn hearts, we announce the passing of Roy McMechen of Delanson, New York, whose presence will be deeply missed, having departed on April 4, 2025 at the age of 74. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Roy McMechen to pay them a last tribute.

As we bid farewell to this luminous soul, let his loved ones carry forward the torch of his memory, illuminating the path ahead with the warmth of his love and the brilliance of his spirit. Though Roy may journey beyond the horizon of our sight, his essence remains woven into the very fabric of our being — a guiding light in the darkness, a beacon of hope in the night.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Ralph McMechen and Eliza McMechen (Suhr); his pets, Bridget and Brandi; his wife Sandy; his siblings, Ralph McMechen (Shirley) and Catherine Quick (late Byron); and his sister-in-law Joann Zielinski (Ted). He was also cherished by several nieces, nephews and many friends.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Animal Protective Foundation (APF) 53 Maple Ave., Scotia, NY 12302.
