Roseller "Roy" Magtajas, of Wesley Chapel, Florida, passed away peacefully on June 23, 2025. Born on December 16, 1958, in Bohol, Philippines, Roy lived a life full of color, love, pride and dedication to his wife and son.

A Chemical Engineering graduate of Mapua University, he was often referred to as a genius by close friends and family. Roy was an excellent artist, who had several exhibits in Cultural Center of the Philippines and in New York. Roy was a lifelong NY Giants & NY Knicks, NY Rangers, TB Bucs and TB Lightning fan who never missed a chance to cheer on his teams. He was a devoted Catholic whose faith guided him through life's many challenges and triumphs.

His nurturing spirit, warm hugs, and ever-present handsome smile left a lasting impression on everyone he met. Roy's love for his family was boundless—he's the ultimate and number one fan of his son, Zachary. Phone calls to close relatives always starts with a "DUDE…. Or what's the latest news?", every visit, and every sweet moment shared with his brother and sister in-laws, cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces & nephews and numerous grandnephews & nieces are cherished.

He embraced life in Florida, especially the beaches, sunshine, gardening and warmth it brought. Roy had a sweet tooth for cakes and boba milkshakes. A killer poker player, he will let you win first few times but be assured, you'll be left empty-handed. He is larger than life, full of light, gratitude and positivity.

Roy is survived by his loving wife, Marian, son, Zachary; his siblings Bojie, Farah, and half-brother Jun-Jun, sisters-in-law Portia, Darlene and Malot and his aunt Nati. He was preceded in death by his brother, Dennis.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Mark the Evangelist in New Tampa on Saturday, June 28 at 10:00 AM.
