Ayon sa Facebook post ni Mell T. Navarro, heart attack ang cause of death ni Boy.

"BOY ROQUE, a veteran character actor and stunt man in Philippine movies (since 1980s) and teleseryes has joined our Creator today, April 10, 2019 due to heart attack.

"Among his teleseryes as a villain character (or companion of the main villain) were GMA 7's "Victor Magtanggol", "That's My Amboy", "My Love From The Star", and more. More than being a goon or villain in the roles he portrayed (6 foot tall, with long wavy hair, and with beard), according to his close friends and relatives, he was a great man with a good heart.

"Panalangin at pakikiramay po sa pamilya ni BOY ROQUE :( Please pray for the repose of his soul. May he rest in peace."
