Scott was born on April 1, 1961 in Honolulu, HI to Jack and Patricia (Tuohy) Troxel. He married Claire Mindis on May 24, 1992. Scott worked as a dispatcher for Anderson Trucking of St. Cloud, MN. He enjoyed sports and was a dedicated San Francisco 49er's fan. He also enjoyed traveling, motorcycles, cooking, and had a passion for fishing.

He is survived by his wife; daughter, Erin; son, William; parents of Sacramento, CA; brother, Leonard (Karynne) Troxel of Everett, WA; sister, Stephanie (James) Blocker of Ione, CA; nieces, Kierstyn and Holly; nephews, Jason, Adam and Jake; and numerous caring family. He was preceded in death by his uncle, John D. Memorial services were held June 24. A scholarship fund has been established for Scott's children.

Sent a card to Mike today because he had serious damage to his knee. Told I thought he might be out of commission with the leg & knee movements you both felt necessary when you sat down. Those memories, I guess, will never leave me. The tears are still so close to the surface & I still can't accept the fact you are gone. Your Dad & I keep you in our Hearts always.

Well, I thought our conversations would come to a close,but somebody who loves us said NO. Just wanted to share with you a moment that was so cool. Your son & G'pa were putting together a model tank,with glue on our kitchen counter,yuk! G'pa so sure of himself screwed up & William hopped on him with such pride & laughter. I told Will that he would need proof of G'pa's mistake because he would never admit to it. What a joy! Life goes on, kids grow, we get old which, for some reason you think will happen to your parents not you. You went too soon, but you left Claire who has been so good, but hurting much with your loss, to take charge of Erin & William and we are so proud of her. What a challenge. We are still so blessed that we have Steph & L.P. & families that they are willing to share with us. Somehow at this time, I'm not really ready to thank God for that.
Miss you - Love Mom

I'm not sure when this mode of conversation stops, I think today but that doesn't stop me from talking to you. I do that all the time but gratefully not out loud. We went to the Sullivan's 50th ann. at the same place we had ours. Your Dad & I were thinking the same thing... it was the last time we saw you. I've written notes to you before but with my computer savy they didn't go thru but I know you got my messages anyway. I don't actually want to say I'll see you soon because we have such a great deal yet to celebtate with all that we have been blessed with, but again do save me a spot next to you.
Love you - Mom

6/27/12 - We were there for Erin's graduation & knew you must be watching too! It was so hard for Claire to be without you. Thanks to her we now have part of you at home. Will made the trip home with us & said he was just like his Dad, throw it in the suitcase & if it fits it was good to go! We have so many good memories of you, Steph & L.P. and consider ourselves fortunate. We are hoping you saved us a place

Well, 51 years ago on April 1st, Hawaii called & you answered. We were thinking how young we were & having such a responsibilty but you made it so easy for us. You were such a pleasure. There isn't a day goes by we don't ask why this had to happen. We're hoping that those in heaven watching over you will light all "51" candles on a cake of your choice.
You are so missed!
Love
Mom & Dad

It's been awhile since I've put anything down on the computer but your brother sent us a copy of the photo taken at our 50th Ann, only we were in black & white & you were out front in tech color. I don't know if it was meant to be, but Dad brought the photo up on the 21st, 16 mos. after you left us. For both of us, it was like walking into your ICU room & the shock that we had lost you. Claire, Erin & William came out to visit us in June. It was difficult for them, but Scott you would have been so proud of them. There's no getting around the hurt of losing a child, but we always have our memories that even God can't take away! Our love to you, Mom & Dad

Well Scott, a year has gone by and the sorrow hasn't eased. I ask myself why writing you a note on the computer helps any, but then again I'm able to tell you what's in my heart. I think back to the day you were in ICU with your youth and dark brown hair among those who had the opportunity to live their lives and thought it very unfair of God. When there was no hope and your apparatus removed, we asked the nurse to keep your heart monitor on. Wow, it was still so strong. I am comforted with the thought that your brother & sister held your hands until the last beat and gave your soul a personal escort to Heaven. I surely hope that someday we will be together again and that God would not deprive us of that. Being our first born, Dad & I learned how to be parents. I know we would get an "A" grade on that one.
We miss you terribly every day!
Love ya, Mom & Dad

Hi Scott, missed your call Mother's Day, with the "Howdy", our conversation and ending with " I love you". Sometimes I really get blind sided like finding some of your Hot Wheels from "King Normans Maskerstore". If what we were always taught while growing up is true, we will be saying "Howdy" and "I love you" again! Your Dad & I miss you so much, sometimes it is too much for the heart to handle. On a lighter note, your sister is miffed because she has to turn "50" first but I know you are looking down on her, with your renoun sense of humor, and enjoying every minute of what she calls stress. You left us with Claire, Erin & William which we will be eternally grateful.
Love, Mom

I knew Scott from grade school. I remember him as a very cool kid with a humorous personality. Sadly, I moved away before I could get to know Scott as an adult. From the looks of things, Scott had many, many friends and family that loved him very much. May God Bless the Troxel family during this difficult time. RIP Scott Troxel....

Claire, I'm sorry about your loss. I was looking forward to seeing him at our 35-year St. Charles Elementary School reunion in Sacramento. I'm sure we will all be sharing stories about Scott. We spent 9 years together. He was such a great friend. I'll always remember his warm smile and his sincerity.

Claire, Erin and William,
My family and I were so sad to hear of your loss. I have such found memories of growing up with Scott, Stephanie and Leonard in Sacramento. We did not have the chance to see your family often, being here in California, but we know how proud the Troxel's were of your family. I hope you find comfort in all of your great memories with Scott and may god watch over you and the kids during these difficult times.
