Sonia and family, I am so broken hearted to hear the news of Dr. Hoy's passing. I always enjoyed working with him during his years in Valdosta. I hated to see him leave when he decided to take on new adventures. I know he made a huge impact in the lives of many people over the years. He will be greatly missed. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

2024-04-02
It is with great sadness we announce the sudden death of Dr. Jeffrey “Jeff” Malcolm Hoy on April 2, 2024, in his home of Fernandina Beach, Florida. Jeff was born on July 31, 1964, in Athens, Georgia to Dr. Don Roger Hoy and Suzanne Farley Hoy. He attended Athens Academy and received his high school diploma in 1982. Jeff was a Boy Scout, arrowhead hunter, and Bulldog fan, graduating Magna Cum Laude from the University of Georgia in 1986 while majoring in genetics. He attended the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, Georgia from 1986 to 1990 and went on to the University of Florida to complete his Internal Medicine residency from 1990 to 1993. This is where he met his wife, Sonia Velez-Hoy, and they married in 1993 in Gainesville, Florida. They then moved to Atlanta, Georgia where he completed a Fellowship in Hematology and Oncology from 1993 to 1996.
In 1995, the couple welcomed their twin daughters, Cassandra and Sabrina, and 4 years later in 1999, their son, Zachary. They raised their children in Valdosta, Georgia and later in life moved to Fernandina Beach, Florida to fulfill their dream of beach life. Dr. Hoy cared deeply about his patients, colleagues, and coworkers. Jeff was the family go-to advice giver, the best storyteller, and always was willing to listen and answer his kids’ numerous life questions.
Growing up, Jeff enjoyed working on the family cattle farm, fishing, camping, reading, playing chess and piano. Jeff was an avid reader, animal lover and proud Eagle Scout recipient. His other passions included cheering on his Georgia Bulldogs, looking at sports cars, cooking, but above all else, he enjoyed spending time with his family.
Jeff leaves behind his wife of 30 years, Sonia, and his beloved children, Cassandra Marie, Sabrina Isabel, and Zachary Jacob. He is survived by his father, Dr. Don Roger Hoy, his brother, Dr. Roger Michael Hoy and his family. He was preceded in death by his mother, Suzanne Farley Hoy.
The family would like to especially thank the Nassau County Sheriff’s department and the UF Health North Hospital for the care he received. A private memorial will be held to honor Jeff’s life. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to the Ronald McDonald House in Jeff’s name https://rmhc.org/donate.
