Roy William Gordon Bragg

On May 23, 2025, with his daughter Monica by his side, Roy passed on to his heavenly home that was prepared for him by his Lord and Saviour.

Roy was a family man. He loved his family that meant everything to him. He was a quiet, soft- spoken and gentle person. Roy was a School Principal all his life, first in Dorchester, Ontario, having grades 1-8. He was then hired with the Paris School Board, which later turned into Brant County School Board. For 35 years he was a well-respected educator.

During his retirement, he enjoyed gardening, wood-working and having man’s best friend, Brutus, sitting on his lap.

Cherished husband and best friend to Grace (nee Boskma) with whom he shared 61 years of marriage. He will be profoundly missed by his daughter Monica (David), and his daughter-in-law Ann (late Bentley, 2015), as well as his Grandchildren Meredith (Brad), Bridget (Robert), Joshua, Adam and Sarah and Great Grandchildren William, Holland and Heidi.

He is survived by his sisters, June Quick (late Robert), Bernice Haynes (late Keith), Mildred Ball (late John), Jean Hiscox (Jon), Donna Brant (late Robert), Gloria Martin (late Gordon), Carole Bragg (Doug) and Sisters-in-Law Edie Brouwer (late William), Jane Boskma (late Harold). He will also be fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews.

Roy is predeceased by his parents, Clarence and Luella Bragg, by his son Bentley Bragg and by Wallace and Florence Bragg, Dorothy and Ross McDonald, Doug and Gloria Bragg, Ruth and Bruce Baines, Betty and Harry Heemstra.

Friends will be received at the Brock and Visser Funeral Home on Saturday May 31, 2025 from 10-10:45am. Funeral service will take place at 11am in the funeral home chapel, with a reception to follow. Private interment at Oxford Memorial Park Cemetery. For those who wish, memorial donations may be made to a charity of one’s choice.

A special thank you to Dr. Binh Vu for the wonderful care he gave Roy during his journey. Also to the staff and nurses at Woodstock Hospital on 2100-2200 (an amazing group of caregivers) and to all our friends that took time to volunteer to be with Roy and help him in his time of need. May God Bless you all! – Love Grace
