Roy Vieau, 61, of West De Pere, passed away peacefully due to pulmonary fibrosis on Wednesday morning, March 4, 2015. The son of the late Hollis and Marie (Renkens) Vieau was born on April 28, 1953 in Green Bay, WI. On August 10, 1979 he married his best friend and love of his life, Lois (Kocken) Vieau.

Roy enjoyed spending time with family and friends around picnic tables and bonfires while playing DJ and sparking deep conversations. There are many fond memories and stories of the weekends spent at family cottages.
