I had Troy when I taught 3rd grade at Otterbein. He was a great kid with very supportive parents. His mom would always bring bags of popcorn or chips for the whole class when she knew I was going to show a movie. He will be missed by so many! RIP, Troy ❤

So very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys. My daughter went to school with his son Zach. I don't think there was ever a football game or wrestling match he ever missed. He was always there to cheer on his boys. My heart breaks for your family.
