I didn't expect to cry watching this based on the title - you should rename it "The Most Passionate Man in BBQ"

Looking at his pictures for years, I used to think Mr Roy was a badass. Now, I know he is! What a beautiful human being. Thanks for this.

Roy Perez seems like a nice man. I hope he has many more years to spend with his family and doing things he enjoys.

I met Roy Perez at Kruez meat market back in 2021. He was a polite, nice, and humble person. We talked for about an hour and he gave me the best advice about being a pit master. His advice to was it wasn't about being the best in BBQ but always taking out of the day to speak with customers. He asked me how I flipped my briskets and I told him. He showed a way to flip briskets faster and let me practice on a few that he was smoking. Before I left he told me that I was the 2nd person in his whole career at Kruez to flip one of his briskets. I felt honored. I keep a picture that we took in my office and I get happy Everytime I look at it because he smiling in it. He a great person and my favorite pit master

That one statement once in a lifetime person definitely is Mr.Roy. Many of us grew up seeing this tower of a man as kids and now we get the blessing of taking our own families and children to have the same memories we had growing up. Continued blessings and prayers going out to Roy and his family nothing will stop this man
