Roy Stidham, 49, of Middletown, died Friday night at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, where he had been listed in critical condition since the May 18 accident at Verity Parkway and Hughes Street, according to his family and hospital officials.
Stidham was represented in Middletown Municipal Court by his six older sisters, Robin, June, Brenda, Tina, Angie and Mary, and numerous nieces and nephews. One of the sisters, Robin Gibson, said the family was “pretty satisfied right now” since they believe Villano will be unable to make bond.
Gibson said she and other family members will attend every hearing.
“He will pay for this,” Gibson said. “I will get justice for my brother.”
Besides a brother, Stidham was preceded in death by his parents. He leaves behind a daughter, Jasmine, 11.

The Honda Odyssey driven by Villano was found to have lost control and spun, striking a 1994 Ford truck driven by Stidham, the report read. Stidham was ejected from his truck and was flown by medical helicopter to Miami Valley Hospital.
After the accident, Villano ran away but was apprehended a short time later by police near Wren Court, said Maj. David Birk. Villano was intoxicated and appeared to be “disoriented and confused and did not make sense” while speaking to officers, according to the report.
