Richard TROXELL Obituary

TROXELL, Richard Allen Of South Charleston peacefully passed away June 28th, 2018, on the farm where he was born. He was born on September 1st, 1927, the son of the late William and Marie (McMahan) Troxell. He spent 90 years blessing everyone he encountered by never meeting a stranger. For 65 of those 90 years, he cared deeply for his wife, Mary (Agle) Troxell. Along with his wife, Richard is survived by his three children: Rick (Jeanne) Troxell, Tom (Julie) Troxell, Amy (Tim) Elliott, eight amazing grandchildren: Josh (Chelsea), Charlie (Lori), Luke (Heidi), Chris, Jake (Shannon), Matt (Stephanie), Jeff (Ashley), and Rachel (Jon), and nine beautiful great grandchildren. He was a lifelong member of the Plattsburg United Church of Christ. For 40+ years, he was a leader in the Harmony Township Livestock 4-H Club by striving to make the best better. Being a farmer, Richard always believed he was closer to God while he drove his tractor. In his best pair of bib overalls, he truly enjoyed working around the farm and driving in his truck while beside his best four-legged friend, Lucky. A gathering of family and friends will be held on Sunday, July 1, 2018 from 2-5:00 p.m. in the LITTLETON & RUE FUNERAL HOME. Graveside services will be held on Monday at 11:00 a.m. in the Rose Hill Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to the Plattsburg United Church of Christ Memorial Fund or the donor's favorite charity.

Diana and I want to send our condolences to Mary and the Troxell family. I was proud to call him "cousin" and listen to his commentary on the world. I always visited with Richard during my infrequent visits to Springfield and left those visits with a deeper understanding off what it was to be Richard Troxell. The world is a poorer lace without him.
To the family - remember the good times.

Diana and I want to send our condolences to Mary and the entire Troxell family for their loss. Richard was my idea of an excellent friend, worthwhile relative, fantastic role model, well-respected farmer, loving father and faithful husband. I always visited with Richard during my infrequent trips back to Springfield and I'll miss that. The world is poorer for his passing.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Mrs. Troxell and family. I am so sorry for your loss.

I am very sad to read that Mr. Troxell has passed. He was a very kind and good man and a wonderful neighbor. I will never forget his kindness and wise counsel through a very hard time in my life. His words lifted my heart and gave me hope. There is now another angel in Heaven to watch over us.

I just happened to be in town to visit my mother and read the news. My best to the Troxell family. I would come to visit my Mom and pass the Troxell farm often. Several times, seeing Richard, Tom or Rick out front so I would stop and say hello. Its been many years since I have seen Amy, so I stopped at the farm and I spoke to one of the grandsons. Time does not allow me to attend the services, but I wanted to pass on my thoughts and prayers to all of you. Your dad and mom always welcomed conversation and it allowed a step back in time to high school years, football and Amy as a cheerleader. Thank you for those memories, its closing in on 40 years since high school, many people have moved on, but stopping by was always a welcomed visit of years past. thank you so much,
