With great sadness, we announce the passing of Roy Redner on Sunday, December 10, 2023, of natural causes. Roy was born on Aug. 18, 1950 in Eureka.

Roy worked at College of the Redwoods for may years, as well as at United Indian Health Services. He served the community in many capacities, focusing on youth and community reengagement through many programs and activities as a counselor and cultural leader.

Roy went above and beyond to help his family and community often donating his time and money to help others at the expense of going without himself. He built an incredibly full life with sharing love to everyone and touched many people both directly and indirectly.

He helped many throughout Indian country but never forgot his humble roots. He traveled throughout northern California helping many people, while always coming home to Humboldt.

Roy was a dearly loved husband to Barbara Redner, father to daughter Trina Downer and sons Roy Redner and Alan Redner, grandfather to many. Brother, uncle and community member, he will be greatly missed by his loving family and close friends. Public viewing will be held Friday, Dec. 15 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at Sanders Funeral Home in Eureka, followed by a funeral service at Sanders Funeral Home 1835 E St. Eureka on Friday Dec. 15 at noon, followed by graveside traditional services at Ocean View Cemetery in Eureka at 2 p.m.
