Weldon passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 15, 2026 after a courageous battle with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, at the age of 64. He was a devoted husband and father who lived with a loving spirit and a positive outlook on life, guided daily by his unwavering faith in God.
Weldon was born on January 23, 1962 in Campbellton, New Brunswick, Canada, the oldest of four children of the late Wilfred Gerald Roy and Marilyn Ruth (McCabe) Roy.
He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by his beloved wife of 38 years, Manon (Sabran) Roy; his cherished children, Vanessa (Alex Bond), Karyne (Mani Vafaei), and Benjamin; and his sisters, Susan, Lori (Bart Slotman), and Jennifer (Leo Connell) and their three children, Sarah, Ryan, and Laura.
Weldon earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering degree from the University of New Brunswick. In 1985, he began his engineering career in Belleville, Ontario, where he met Manon that same year. They married in 1987 and began building their family in Belleville. In 1995, Weldon’s career brought the family to San Jose, California, where they made their home.
Weldon was a man with a beautiful soul. He lived his life with passion, integrity, and strong values, always treating others with respect and kindness. His love for nature and the environment was central to who he was, and he consistently sought to make the world a better place. He will be remembered for his warm sense of humor, his love of music, and the deep pride he took in his family.
Weldon embraced life’s adventures and found joy in hiking, skiing, roller hockey, cycling, golfing, snooker, and traveling. Above all, he treasured the time he spent with Manon, Vanessa, Karyne, and Benjamin.
May his memory bring comfort to all who knew and loved him. Weldon will forever remain in our hearts.
In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations via Weldon Roy Memorial Bench - Go Fund Me to support the placement of a memorial bench at Cataldi Park, in collaboration with the City of San Jose. This park held a special place in Weldon’s heart, where he enjoyed his daily walk.
