Roy Douglas Sutherland
Roy Douglas Sutherland passed away on Thursday, January 11, 2024, at the age of 
64, from complications of pneumonia. A Celebration of Life for the Sutherland 
brothers will be held at 3:00PM on Sunday, February 4, 2024, at Mount Carmel 
Baptist Church on Hwy 30.  There will be another Celebration of Life for Roy 
held in Munford, TN in June.  

Born June 19, 1959, in the Territory of Hawaii, the year it became a state, Roy 
Douglas Sutherland was the fourth of five children born to Layton and Irma 
Sutherland. A respected member of the Scottish Rite and the community, he spent 
most of his life in the small town of Munford, Tennessee, just outside of 
Memphis.  Roy had a sincere love of animals, especially dogs, passed onto him by 
his father and developed through 4-H. The only thing he loved more than eating 
was cooking; BBQ ribs, smoking shoulders, and frying catfish.  He was also an 
avid league bowler who won two championships until shoulder injuries forced him 
into retirement.  Spending quality time with his family was paramount whether 
watching movies or encouraging his great nieces and nephews. While not an 
overtly religious man, Roy had a child’s faith and loved God in his own way. He 
had a heart of gold with patience to rival Job.  He was a simple man who would 
help anyone and had a kind word for everyone. He was preceded in death by his 
parents, two brothers and his nephew.

He is survived by his daughter and her fiancé Christine Sutherland and Tony 
Schuba, his brother and sister-in-law Will and Betse Sutherland, his sister and 
her husband Laurie Sutherland and Vince Stockwell, three nieces, two nephews and 
several great nieces and nephews.  He is also survived by his life-long friends 
Clint Fite and Vickie Williams as well as so many others.

Way-Watson Funeral Home of Buena Vista, GA, has been entrusted with the 
arrangements.
