We are devastated to hear of Troy's sudden passing. I just saw him walking, which now I believe was his walk back home on that dreaded day. I wish I would have stopped to say "hi" as I hadn't seen him in awhile. He always waved, and I waved at him that day for sure.
He was a super nice guy, always patient for a conversation. Whether it was short or long! :) He especially made a positive impression on our son Landon. Landon loved talking to Troy, and made an effort everytime he saw him walking DJ to bike over, walk or run to greet them. There was even a handful of times Landon walked/rode his bike with him around the neighborhood as they talked. Landon is sad to hear this too, and will definitely miss Troy. He told me he will be sure to watch for DJ so he can give him a bigger hug that time around.
Our deepest condolences to the whole family. May you all find strength in the great memories you all shared. He is most definitely now your guardian angel. ❤

We are so sorry to of the loss of your beloved husband and father. I was just telling Doug we need to start the XMas parties again. I would see Troy almost daily walking the dog. Wish I had stopped to chat, and stay in touch more. Hang in there, if you or boys need anything please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Joell, Ben, and Ryan--- I am devastated by this loss and heartbroken for you all. Eventually the happy memories will outweigh the heavy sadness that you are all consumed with right now, (there's no timeline to grief). Hugs to you all!
I spent a lot of time at your house in 2004 before I moved to Arizona, and had many conversations with Troy and good times with you all! I remember when I was offered the position to teach in Phoenix, which was a very quick development and not a part of my "plan" at all. I talked to Troy about it and he told me I should take the job, because if I didn't like it I could always come back. That might seem like simple or obvious advice, but it was exactly what I needed to hear to help solidify my decision. He believed in me and was an integral part of that huge change for me. I'm so glad that he was able to meet Maxwell and Lauren during my visits over the past 17 years. Thank you so much for all the laughs and happiness you brought to my life. I love all of you and wish I could be there.
Love, Tricia
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I really enjoyed the conversations we had the past (almost) two years as Troy walked his dog and I did my daily walk. His passion for what was right and love of our country was very evident. I will miss that.

Troy was a patient and loving husband and a super special dad to 2 very special young men. I just saw him walking DJ last week while I drove by and I thought "what a great guy"....Now I wish I would've stopped to say hi. RIP my friend ❤️
