I was there the day Troy got his order of the arrow award at palisades reservoir on the Apline Wyoming. They sent him out in the woods without anything and he had to tell of his experience at the campfire. The next night. We didn't have a leader staying with us. So Troy and his friend Craig Stewart acted like a leader and made sure we got to where we needed to go. They kicked us out of camp at the end of the week because we had no leader.

Troy had only known me for 90 days, before I had a major Kidney surgery and missed over a month of work. A week into receiving the news that I needed a surgery I went to his office. I told him "I'm home boss, I can't lose this job".. cutting me off he said "don't worry about none of that were going to put together a donation package for you. You'll have sick hours and a pay check, so just go home, heal up and get back to work cuz we really like your work around here! Of course I was crying.

Troy, From the first moment I saw you. Oh the earth moved and butterflies in my tummy. I really thought I had met you before. I love your kisses and I love your hugs. They just felt so good and safe and secure. You are a wonderful father and loving husband. Your my Best Friend. From reading all the fond memories of the people you touched in your life it is a joy and a testament to you and your life. You are a chosen and valiant son of God. You will be forever upon our hearts and in our...

Got called to work at night for snow removal. I drove, we worked till 11:30 PM the snow froze. So we had to stop. Driving home at 20mph,road is very slick passed Kino Blv Ok,we just came over the hump on the downhill 6th St underpass, truck went into a spin, 3 times, we stopped at the bottom, facing traffic, but the trucks behind us were stopped at the top. Troy was locked onto the door handle and seatbelt,his eyes were wide open. He said, whew! Ya know someone had a hand on that one! Ken

Troy was always a special person to everyone. He always took the time to smile and visit with you. He always had a smile on his face. I had the pleasure of working with him closely and he became a good friend to me and everyone he came into contact with. He will be missed. Lisa ASDM

I worked with Troy at the museum. He was always so sweet and friendly. I appreciated his smile and laugh. He cared so much about helping animals and staff be comfortable and to have all things we/they needed to be well maintained. Crystal

Hello darlings,
I wanted you to know how much you all mean to me. I know when I lived in Arizona before I never visited, but I always told everyone about my family who lived in Tucson. You always helped dad, Mariah and me at our worst time. And we never take that for granted. I love you always.
