Roy Garber was the owner of a New Hampshire-based courier and transport business who became a television personality as one of the stars of the A&E reality series Shipping Wars.

On the show, which premiered in 2012, several transport companies vie for the opportunity to transport cargo, and to deliver it more expediently, efficiently and economically than the other competitors. Garber, who owned and operated a company called Arbie’s Team Transport with his son, Travis, was one of the most successful of those who appeared on the show.

Garber died January 17, 2014, of a heart attack, while in Texas. He was 49.

In a statement, A&E said: "We are deeply saddened by the loss of a member of the A&E family. Our thoughts are with Roy’s loved ones during this difficult time. He will be missed."
