I am a cousin to Troy. I have to say I was blessed coming to his service/memorial. Just walking in the door I was blessed by the UNITED FRONT his family shown by greeting the people all along the front of the room. To see genuine love towards everyone present, was a sweet gift to the onlookers. Seeing Troy and Stormy 's childrens young faces hugging and shaking hands with everyone it was easy to see the influence this family has had on their young family. Jani I will continue to pray for you and your family .With love, rest in peace Troy. Linda Coolidge-McKinley
