Royal Xavier Waldroop

A Chapel Service for Royal Waldroop, 25, Clinton resident will be held 11:00 A.M., Saturday, April 3, 2021 in the Kiesau Memorial Chapel officiated by family and friends and under the direction of the Kiesau-Lee Funeral Home. Royal Xavier Waldroop was born May 5, 1995 to Elizabeth Waldroop and Charles “Chuck” Whitetail in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and passed away March 28, 2021 in Woburn, Massachusetts from an opioid overdose while traveling. Royal was a gentle, hard working and free spirited man who lived life to the fullest. With a smile that was contagious and humor like no one else, he was always the life of the party-even if there wasn’t one. Royal truly experienced life in his short time here on earth. He lived as far as Alaska, had jobs from being a cook, to exterminator, construction, mechanic work, and much more. He enjoyed exploring nature and collecting treasures along the way. As the eldest of the children of the family he was a protector, a leader, a friend, and sometimes even a bully (with the best intentions). He made each day an adventure for his younger siblings. Royal spent the last three months of his life traveling coast to coast for work. Royal’s latest endeavor was building greenhouses in all different parts of the country. He experienced things he never had before, saw sights he had never seen before, and soaked up all of the beauty of the outdoors on the way. Royal is survived by his mother, Elizabeth Waldroop and his father Charles “Chuck” Whitetail, five maternal siblings, Love Waldroop, Zoe Waldroop, Zade Case, Lincoln James and Amory James; two paternal siblings Madison Whitetail and Cooper Whitetail. He is also survived by a niece Kamani Waldroop.
