Troy is my bubby, my big brother. He's the best person I've ever known. He always had the most pure heart and put his everything into whatever he did. He took care of everyone. He was always super fun and super silly. This is a great loss. The world is short one awesome man. I pray for all of us who will feel this loss deeply forever. My heart aches for our mom, Amanda and the kids. I love you guys a lot. And my bubby will always hold a huge piece of my heart. Troy, I'll see you at the crossroads.

Please know that you always have my love. My heart and prayers is with your heart where ever you are! I apologize for not being able to be there for you now.

Love your old nanny, friend and neighbor Sherry

Mu husband introduced me to Troy when he had his shop in South Side Ft. Worth. I remember him as always happy and cutting jokes with us. He was an amazing artist and a very special man. My heart goes out to his wife and children. Rabbit will be greatly missed!

Troy really changed our lives. He became not only a friend but he was like family....when we cooked he came and made himself at home and ate, never knocked on the door just walked on in. And most of all he became extremely close to our 5 year old daughter Kalley! She loves you Rabbit! We all love you and wish the best for your family! You are all in our thoughts and prayers everyday! We love you all!

R.I.P. Troy aka Rabbit! Your smile will never be forgotten here!

Troy took our little town by storm, some of the local folks didn't know what to think about a tattoo shop in Whitney, but it didn't take long for the skeptics to realize what amazing work he was capable of. No matter when you went in the shop, you would always find him laughing and cutting up with someone. Whether you were having work done, or just hanging out, you always felt welcomed. He will be greatly missed, he was a true friend to all who knew him.

I didn't know Troy very long, but he was always cracking me up. He did a portrait tattoo of my father for me and I am glad that I have a permanent piece of artwork from him. He will be greatly missed by many people. My heartfelt condolences and sympathy go out to Amanda and their children.

Troy has done many tattoos on me. I remember him as an excelent artist aswell as a friend. every body that i know that has met him liked him. I am so glad to have some of Troys work tattooed on me. I know that he will be missed and I know that he is still slinging ink in a better place now. May he rest in peace until we all see him again. -Brandon Lee

Troy Fox brought me into the tattoo business. He took me under his wing and tought me many things not only about tattooing, but life. He showed me more than he or anyone else will ever know. I will not let his memory fade or the stories of the times we had die. When I remeber Troy, I will think of his sense of humor in the face of bad news, his unbeleiveable faith in God, his immense love for his family, the way he treated people. The world lost one hell of a good man, Heaven gained one hell of a shining star. Keep an eye on me brother, and I will see ya again one day.

I've known Troy since he and Amanda very first met. I watched them get married, watched their lives grow together, and watched as their children grew each year. I will always remember his sense of humor and his tremendous love for Amanda and their children. This loss will be felt by many.

Troy was a dear friend and fellow worker/tattoo artist. He was a joy to work with for over 3 years. Troy was always responsible and honorable while working for me and with me. He always made me laugh and I enjoyed him being so upbeat. He had a contagious personality that made everybody smile and feel good about being around him. I visited his new shop 1 1/2 months ago in Whitney while fishing a tournament. The shop and Troy looked great. I will dearly miss you, brother. It was great knowing you and working with you these several years. I will always think fondly of you. God Bless you and your family.

I have lots of very found memories of my brother and am very greatful for the time that I had with him. There was a great deal of distance in the miles between us, but not in my heart and spitit. Troy grew into a very respected man and husband and I will miss him with all of my heart. My heart goes out to his wife and kids.

It was always a pleasure doing business with Troy. He advertised the shop in my newspaper as well as myself and my wife got several tattoos from Troy. He will be missed by many in the Whitney area. I will be reminded of this tragedy every time I drive by the shop but will also remember how much fun it was just to hang out there.
