Wow. I am in shock. I just learned of Troy's passing today and I am incredibly saddened! I haven't seen him in a while, but remember the times I did spend with him. He was friends with my little brother for the longest time and he'd often stop by my moms on his way home 'back in the day' just to visit or would be sure to honk whenever he passed our house. He'd always greet everybody with a hug. My heart and prayers go out to his family, including his fiance and soon to be step-children. RIP big guy! You will be missed!!!
