Roy Edward Adair, 67, of Benton, Kentucky passed away on Wednesday, January 3, 2023 at Oakview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.
Roy was born in Gary, Indiana on August 29, 1956 to the late James Edward Adair and Judith Lee Bruns Adair. He was a Veteran of the United States Army and spent many years working at North Star Steel in Calvert City before being involved in a vehicle accident that made it impossible for him to return back to work. Roy was blessed with the ability to be a great woodworker and enjoyed using his talent to make a variety of furniture pieces throughout the years. He was also a big Elvis Presley fan and enjoyed collecting all things Elvis related. More than anything else he was a wonderful friend and family member who will be greatly missed by everyone.
The family would like to express their most heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to all of the staff at Oakview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Calvert City for all of the love and care they have provided for Roy during his time spent there.
Roy is survived by his daughter, Jennifer Adair of Benton; his son, Jason Adair of Benton; two sisters, Kathy Baker and Kandy Smith (Darrell) both of Benton; three brothers, Allen Adair (Joyce) of Benton, Jimmy Adair of Calvert City, and Richard Adair (Debbie) of Memphis, Tennessee; three grandchildren, Allie, Anthony, and Aaron; and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by one nephew, Casey Lee Baker; and his parents, James Edward Adair and Judith Lee Bruns Adair.
