Roy Caldwell Obituary

My grandfather was such a large figure in our lives and a model . Through his compassion to others and constant drive for knowledge and understanding of this strange world, I am proud to have learned from grandpa. He has provided me with a roadmap for how to deal with the difficulties we face in life and I can only hope to be as great a man, father, brother, grandfather and citizen. Rest in peace and may your eternal heavenly life be as impactful as your time here.

We are so sad! Roy and MarionrAnn have been our precious friend ever since they moved to Clermont! Many wonderful memories with Gator games, traveling and all our church activities! Such fun watching the children grow to be such wonderful young people that loved their parents so much
L and each other so much! Love to you Marion Ann!!

He was a Great, Wonderful Man that I was Very Lucky to have known.

Prayers for Marion Ann and the family. God Bless

Irvin and family, I'm sorry to hear the passing of Mr. Caldwell. It's obvious he was very loved as a husband, father, grandfather and friend. Hold tight to his memories and may they comfort you in the future.

We were privileged to know Roy while living at The Oaks condominiums, both of us serving on the Board of Directors with him over the years. RIP Roy

Mr. Caldwell was a dear and cherished family friend of more than 70 years. I admired him greatly and have so many fond memories of my parents and the Caldwell family. He was a wonderful Christian Gentleman and also an ardent GATOR Fan! Roy is HOME with Christ. I will be forever grateful for his kindness to me and especially my parents!

My Grandfather was a special man with a giving heart and I’m honored to be his granddaughter and share in his legacy. He will certainly be missed this side of heaven, but I have so much joy knowing he is with my Dad and in the presence of Jesus!

I'm sorry to hear the news of Mr Caldwell passing. I've always had respect and admiration for him. Truly a pillar of the community and an excellent example of good character. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Irvin and Caldwell family please know I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. How blessed you were to have had him in your life for 98 years. May he rest in peace and may you all be comforted by the memories of Roy.

Caldwell Family,

I am sorry to hear of Roy's passing, May the memories linger on.

Dear Caldwell family,

Our deepest condolences on the loss of Mr. Caldwell.May you find peace and comfort during this difficult time.

With sympathy,
The McKenna family

RIP Judge Caldwell. I consider myself along with many to have known you for so many years. A truly wonderful man.

Mr. Caldwell will be dearly missed. I have so many great memories of him as a kid growing up in Clermont. He took me to my first Gator game and from that day I was hooked. He loved to drive fast and keep the air conditioner cold. We fondly referred to the temp in his car and home as “Roy Cool”, and that’s a trait I picked up from him. His bold voice and stature is something that I’ll never forget. God Bless Mr. Caldwell and the entire family. He lived a long and great life and now it is his time to rest in peace with the Lord.

Roy was a good friend to me from the time I moved to Clermont. He assisted me in getting my LaSalle Extension University LLB degree and was a long-time client of my accounting firm. My condolences and best wishes to his family.

It was an Honor and Privilege to know Mr Caldwell. It was always a pleasure to stop by his home every two weeks, as his Schwan man. Mr Caldwell was always in good spirits and we always had great conversations. RIP SIR.

I wasn’t as close to my grandpa in the last several years as I would have liked to be, but the memories we shared will always hold a special place in my heart. One of the ones I treasure most is the trip to Washington, DC, with my cousins. It was during that trip that Grandpa taught us how to read and navigate with a map—a skill I really didn’t enjoy at the time (and I’m sure he didn’t either, since we got lost a few times!). What seemed like a small thing then has stayed with me ever since. That lesson in navigation didn’t just teach me how to get around on a map; it taught me perseverance, how to find my way even when things didn’t go as planned, and how to push through life’s challenges.

Grandpa was always firm, but so kind, and his advice—though it wasn’t always what I wanted to hear—was always what I needed. He had a way of guiding me with love and wisdom, even if it wasn’t the easiest path to follow.

My kids also loved spending time with him. They especially enjoyed walking down the dock to feed the fish with great-grandpa—those simple moments were so meaningful to them.

Though Grandpa wasn’t part of every moment in my life, the lessons and memories he left behind are ones I’ll carry with me always. His wisdom, his love, and his way of teaching will stay with me and my family until we meet again. Until then, I hope grandpa and dad are catching up on all things Gator football!

Sympathies to the family of Roy Caldwell

This man has been an important part of my life for nearly 40 years. That is when I fell in love with his son Sparky. Roy was a wonderful father in law and was a man of integrity and intelligence, generosity, quick wit and humor and full of love for God, his family and his country. I had the absolute privilege of my lifetime to be one of his caregivers for a portion of his latter years with us. This is when I fell in love with Gaither music. Roy sang his heart out every single day, worshipping God even with his advancing dementia. It broke my heart when he passed, but knowing he is with his Lord and Savior Jesus and his son Sparky turns all of that heartache around instead, to a time of celebration and rejoicing. Roy is finally at home. I know he ran to Jesus with eyes and arms wide open and a heart full of readiness. He will be missed tremendously here on earth but I am confident we will all be reunited one day in God’s timing.
