Roy Lethbridge July 30, 1934 - August 15, 2026

It is with profound sadness that the family of Roy Curtis Lethbridge announce his peaceful passing, surrounded by loved ones, on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at the age of 92. Born on July 30, 1934, in Clarenville, Newfoundland, Roy was the ninth of fourteen children born to Albert and Ida Lethbridge.

Roy was a devoted husband for 51 years to Ruby Frances Seaward (predeceased 2004). He was a beloved father to Jake (predeceased 2024) (Elayne), Gary (Bonnie), Robert (Ave), Michelle (Jim), and Perry. He was a cherished Poppy to Christopher, Jennifer (Kevin), Stephen (Rebecca), Kerry, Danielle (Luke), Ryley, and Jenna, and a proud Great‑Poppy to Brendan, Maggie, and James. Roy is also lovingly remembered by his sister Ida Lillian, and by many nieces, nephews, and extended family.

He is predeceased by his siblings Jim, Blanch, Carrie, George, Ches, Dot, Phil, Son, Bob, Heber, Bill, and Gus, as well as his companions Ruby Barrington and Jose Balsom.

Roy lived a life filled with hard work, humour, and generosity. He treasured time spent with family and friends, and his passions included fishing, hunting, hockey, and proudly participating in the annual Clarenville Santa Claus Parade. A true Newfoundlander, Roy was known for his big heart, quick wit, and unwavering willingness to help others.

Resting at Fewer’s Funeral Home, Clarenville.  Visitation will be on Monday, August 17 from 7 – 9 p.m. and Tuesday, August 18 from 2 – 4 and 7 – 9 p.m.  Funeral service 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday August 19, 2026 at Fewer’s Memorial Chapel, Clarenville with interment to follow at the United Church Cemetery, Church Hill, Clarenville.

Roy will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. His family is forever grateful for the life he lived and the love he gave.

    Perry, Gary,
    Lynn and I are sorry to hear of your father’s passing. When Lynn went back to school, we found ourselves unable to properly care for our dog Glory. Your dad looked after our dog and gave her a wonderful life. For that we were eternally grateful. He was a very nice man. We offer you our most sincere condolences.

    My heart is saddened with the news of Uncle Roy’s passing, I have many memories of hunting and fishing with him, Gary and Perry at different times. The rabbits we shot and snared so he could take them back to Toronto to sell. Reading his obituary, predeceased by so many Aunts and Uncles… some I have no memories of… others 💔.. so much love in the family… my condolences to all my cousins… another piece of our history has passed….

    Robert (Ave), Liliana and I will be thinking of you over the next few days. It’s never easy to lose a parent no matter the age, no matter the circumstance. It’s obvious from the obituary that he lived a long and fulsome life and that he touched the lives of many. Remember him in that light. Love Ben & Liliana

    I didn’t personally know Roy but I know he was a lifelong friend of my parents Babs (Janes) and Gary Ivany. I remember hearing his name growing up and over the years since. May they all meet again and have a big party 🙂
