Mr. Roy Lee Honeycutt, III, 68, of Grenada, passed away Tuesday, December 12, 2023 at his residence with his wife by his side.  He was born August 26, 1955 in Louisville, KY to Roy Lee, Jr. and June Williams Honeycutt.  He enjoyed spending his summers with his grandparents in Gore Springs and was blessed to retire back to Grenada County.  Roy retired as a driver for Heartland Catfish and cultivated many friendships through the years both with fellow drivers and customers.  Roy, considered by many as a gentle giant, will long be remembered for his kindness and his willingness to always help those in need.  Outside of his work, he also made friends across the nation as he competed and won in numerous horse shows.  A true animal lover, Roy loved his horses and donkeys as well as his faithful dogs.  Roy will long be remembered for his ability to talk to anyone and his ability to keep everyone in his presence laughing.  He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. In his own words, "Good ride cowboy."

A graveside service will be held at 2:00 PM Friday, December 15, 2023 at the Woodlawn Memorial Park in Grenada with Pastor James McElroy officiating.
