I am *so sorry* I *missed* this obituary! Troy and I grew up (in our early years) across the street from each other.
Todd, you have my sympathy.
1 Cor 15:3–4,
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures....

Even though I don't know any of the family, I had intended to stop by today to pay my respects to Troy, but I wasn't able to get there. Troy was a friend to me in high school and we have been
connected through FB since our last high school reunion. I will miss his commentary on posts and through our back n forth messages. He was a one of a kind person!

Going to miss you Troy. We had some fun times back in the square dancing days. Many fun adventures traveling around the lower 48. Rest in Peace.

Troy has been mine and Jeff's neighbor for 25+ years. I always enjoyed visiting with him while he was out walking the dog (s), as well as after he lost them. It doesn't seem possiblel that he is now gone too. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
