HAYWARD, Troy

Troy Hayward, age 83, of Centerville, went home to be with his Lord on Friday, October 28, 2022. He was born October 17, 1939, in Portsmouth, Ohio, to the late Russell and Gertrude (Shonkwiler) Hayward.

Troy graduated from East High School in Portsmouth, OH, Class of 1957. He furthered his education at Ohio University where he received a Bachelor's degree in Business. He was a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather and was thrilled to have recently become a great-grandfather. Troy was a man who fiercely loved the Lord. He was a great leader in his home, raising his children to know the Lord and was instrumental in helping to teach others about Christ especially while serving in leadership positions at Crossview Christian Church. He was an avid fan of the Cincinnati Reds, the Cincinnati Bengals and The Ohio State Buckeyes! He worked for Elder-Beerman Stores for over 35 years and loved to share wonderful stories and memories about his time there and all the people that he interacted with even long after he had retired.

In addition to Russell, Gertrude and Ressie (Reed) Hayward, he was preceded in death by his wife of 54 years, Phyllis Jane Hayward. He leaves behind a loving family to cherish his memory, including his children, Mark (Dawn) Hayward of Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, Brian Hayward of Warsaw, IN, and Cheryl (Tony) Brackemyre of Wilmington, OH; grandchildren, Austin (Hannah) Garrett, Tyler and Nicholas Hayward, Emma and Kyle Hayward, Andrew (Lauren) Garrett, Josiah (Allison) Brackemyre, Sydney (Hayden) Mills and Max and Eli Brackemyre; great-grandchildren Knox Garrett and Titus Brackemyre; a sister, Barbara Hickman of Minford, OH; and a brother, Roger Hayward, South Shore, KY.

Worked with Mr. Hayward at Centerville store for years and did work for him at Bee Gee Shoes. Couldn't have worked for a nicer person. [email protected]

Troy and I had sister mothers. We both shared tragedy at our early ages, Troy's mother passed when he was five years old and I lost my father a month before I was born, May 1940. We shared some great times together in Sciotoville, Ohio. One of the most memorable was in 1947, I was spending a few days with Troy. We collected some soda bottles, turned them in for probably a quarter, bought a pack of Phillip Morris cigarettes the nest day we got farmed out to our uncle George for the afternoon, Uncle George worked in the open hearth at the steel mill, was a burly man in his own right. He had several hunting dogs with fairly large sized dog houses. Uncle George was sitting on his porch, Troy and I decided to crawl into one of the dog houses and light up a smoke. It wasn't long when the smoke started rolling out the doorway. All I remember was uncle George's face appearing in the doorway and with both his hands he pulled us out of the doghouse. Troy and I laughed about this for years. I'm sure uncle George got a hoot out of it too.

Hate to see you go Troy. Life and death keeps coming at a bad time

My husband Brad and I both worked with Troy at Elder-Beerman Stores. He was one of the nicest, caring individuals and always found the positive in any situation, often leaving one with laughter. It was a pleasure to have known him. Jane & Brad Roberts
