Roy Garber Has Died

One of the few memorable faces and characters in a show which is not that memorable was Roy Garber. A single father who raised his son alone for 18 years, Roy starred on Shipping Wars on A&E for its entire five season run. He died of a heart attack. He was 49.

Violet said...: Never seen the show and no idea who this man is - but that's sad anyway. 49 too young. Mind, I thought he was way older than that looking at that picture.; 8:18 AM
TalksTooMuch said...: Oh man! I only saw it a few times but he had a strong presence. That is too sad about his son, good for him for leaving a good legacy. Wow.; 8:25 AM
Kimba said...: Never watched the show, sads for the family. I am stunned that BBC journalist Komla Dumor died at 41. Those are early ages for cardiac arrests.; 8:27 AM
Steampunk Jazz said...: That's my cat!; 8:31 AM
umop 3pisdn said...: Sad indeed...my hubs watches the show and this cat was pretty cool. Prayers to his family, I just lost a dear friend of 18yrs to a stroke and she was 53; 8:34 AM
PugsterMom said...: I'm so sorry for your loss. That is just too young to go.; 8:40 AM
Seven of Eleven said...: Was the cat part of the show? He's a little cutie.

RIP, Mr Garber, and @umop, I'm sorry to hear that. :(; 8:50 AM
OneEyeCharlie said...: When I was eighteen, 49 seemed ancient. It doesn't sound quite so old now.; 8:58 AM

Im just sayin said...: In my line of work I see this every day. And they're only getting younger. You don't have to be 80 and eat junk and smoke 2 packs a day anymore. Last patient I had was 38....with no history. So sorry for this mans family, more specifically his son. How sad.; 9:07 AM
auntliddy said...: He came across as a real dick, but rest in peace.; 9:13 AM
Alexa Rose said...: Aw, my husband liked that show.; 9:56 AM
bluebonnetmom said...: They nicknamed him Silver Haired Jesus on the show. He traveled everywhere with his cat, Muffy. He was also a smoker and had heart problems. We love the show and we will miss him.; 11:00 AM
Gypsytrill said...: I. Adored. Him. He was my favorite character on any show on any network, right next to Tia Torres on Pitbulls and Parolees. Roy Garber, his ornery self, was a true original. "A nickel is holding up a dollar." There was nothing fake about Roy, what you saw was really him. He exasperated his co-stars but oh my, we the viewers just loved him.; 11:14 AM

CocoaBeachBunny said...: "Stop talking and go back in the house" - Roy Garber; 11:42 AM
Blondie! said...: My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
I've watched the show many times. I now this next sentence is going to come across as awful, but I thought he was older, like 20 years older.; 12:26 PM
Anothergrayhare said...: Loved his. "Just give me my money and I'll be outta here" attitude. I remember an episode where he drove through a tornado and around closed highways to make it to his son's graduation. He always called a spade a spade. Too young to go but smoking will do that to you.; 12:48 PM

Queenie said...: Dunno who this is, but cute puddy tat!; 2:35 PM
Queenie said...: LOL; 2:37 PM
K. Madelyn said...: Maybe I'm biased 'cause I just turned 50, & never heard of him; but RIP, & IMO he looks pretty hot. Wouldn't have kicked him out of bed, but my long-haired tabby already has her white siamese/??? mix as a foot-of-bedfellow. She might have had issues with an additional kitty.; 5:27 PM
FlirtyChick74 said...: Hahahaha; 5:31 PM
cricket said...: Never watched the show but 49 is way too young. I'm sure his son and kitty are going to miss him very much RIP; 1:17 AM
