Troy was one of the first people I met at Bostwick Labs. Genuinely a good spirited man, that always had something positive to say no matter the circumstances. God Bless the family and know that he was loved, and respected by many.

Troy was my soul mate and the love of my life. He was the most incredible boyfriend anyone could ask for. He never let me forget how much he loved me. He was such a good man with a huge heart and everyone who ever met him, instantly fell in love with him because he was such a kind hearted soul who took care of his family, friends and even strangers in need.
Troy was my whole world and I am a better person for having him in my life. I am going to be lost without him but I pray that he finds peace now. Please keep Troy and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
To Troy: Please keep watching over me. I love you a whole bunch of bananas and I will love you forever.

To Sheryl and Troy's Family,
I cannot possibly begin to express the sadness and loss that all who have known Troy are feeling. Troy was a very special man. He was one of the most honest, loving, generous, funny, brilliant men I have ever met in my life. He was a terrific and loyal friend to me always. I will always miss him. I do find some comfort in knowing that we all are better people for having known and love Troy.

I too was shocked when I received Sheryl's email Saturday morning to inform us of Troy's death. I've heard a lot about Troy over the past few years and I met him in the spring when I came down to visit. He was everything Sheryl said he was. There aren’t enough people like Troy among us and now we lost him. He was a great guy and he will be sorely missed.

I will always remember Troy as such a happy, smiling, and very kind person. He always spoke to me everytime that he saw me, and greeted all with a big smile and we would joke and laugh. We would always talk about our sporty cars and Virginia Tech. Everyone at Bostwick Laboratories and myself will miss him grealty.

My heart is heavy and saddened having heard the news about Troy's passing.
Without realizing, Troy touched so many and will be remembered for his positive and bright outlook on "life" and "happiness".
May you find comfort in knowing the "angels" have welcomed him home.

To the family of Troy Collins and Sheryl ~
I will truly miss Troy. Troy was a very kind gentleman with a great smile. I enjoyed working with him and being a part of the Operations team at Bostwick Laboratories.
When I transitioned to the Finance department, Troy would always stop by my desk to check on me to ensure everything was going okay with me.
My family will continue to pray for strength for the days to come. Treasure your memories of Troy as I'm sure he's watching over you as your guardian angel.
