Baptized Arsène Roy dit Lauzier. Son of Arthur Roy dit Lauzier and Anne Bélanger of Ste-Irène of Matane, Québec. Brother of Gérard, Philippe, Edouard, half-brother Marcel, Bernadette and Marianne.
Enlisted in the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps, part of the Canadian Army Special Force, he was transferred to the 1st Battalion of the Royal 22nd Regiment. He left for Japan on March 28, 1952, and from there traveled to Busan, South Korea. On April 24, his battalion took up defensive positions against Chinese forces. On August 10, 1952, he was killed in a clash with Chinese forces while the Canadian brigade was deployed between the villages of Paujolgol and Kojanhari-Saemal. The Royal 22nd Regiment was defending the left flank.
His name was inscribed on the cenotaph of the Korean War Memorial in Meadowvale Cemetery, Brampton, Peel, Ontario, erected in 1997 to commemorate the 516 Canadians killed in action between 25 June 1950 and 27 July 1953, as well as on the Korean War Memorial in downtown Ottawa, Ontario. An identical monument can be found at the United Nations Memorial Cemetery in Pusan (South Korea).
