Roy Max Bible of Johnson City passed away peacefully, Friday, June 19, 2020, at the age of 93 in Fredericksburg, with his family at his side. Roy was born Sept. 5, 1926 in Blanco County to Martin Bible and Ella (Withers) Bible.

Roy attended Johnson City schools until ranching became a full-time commitment. In his younger years he was skilled at breaking horses and was known to be a crack shot with a rifle. Roy and his wife, Joyce Allene (Prochnow), were married 65 years until her death in June of 2017. Roy and Joyce enjoyed their life together. They owned a laundromat in Blanco for many years in addition to raising four children and maintaining the ranch. Once the kids were all raised, Joyce was able to get more of Roy’s help in the garden and less time ranching.

Roy was preceded in death by his parents, Martin and Ella Bible; loving wife of 65 years, Joyce Allene (Prochnow) Bible; six siblings, James Bible, Opal Whensche, John Bible, Robert Bible, Ruby Gipson, and Mary Howe.

He is survived by their four children, Kenneth Bible and wife Nancy, Danny Bible and wife Paula, Ronnie Bible and wife Betty, and Lisa Moritz and husband D.J.; 18 grandchildren and 24 great grandchildren. Mr. Bible is also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins, and other loving relatives and dear friends.
