Troy, I remember our walk on the beach in October... a senior citizen stopped up and asked to take our picture on the sand - my parents still have it hanging in their house. I remember drinking with the locals on the east coast (visiting Jenni) and having your wallet stolen. You went right back, forgave the guy and continued to drink with them (I was ticked!!). I remember crying the first time you flew me to New York to meet your mother... and I won't even mention the stupid song we sang to cheer me up before I met her. I remember meeting Elaine that day. You left me in the food court and went to get her. She came up to me and asked for the time. I thought "What's this crazy lady doing? There's a clock right behind her!" ~ I love your mom! I remember Bucs game day at the house is South Tampa - Taylor was usually around too lol! I remember REALLY early mornings with you at 98Rock. You're not forgive for those yet... I could go on but the rest I will save for myself.

To the Mitchells, The Russos and the Higgins ~ I am right there with you! You've all been like family to me and I can't express my sorrow enough right now.

God's in Heaven (with Troy) and all will be right with the world. I'll always love you.

To the family, I am so sorry to hear of this great loss. I just saw Troy at Lowe's a couple of months ago and said we would need to get together to catch up and to chat about all the fun we had as kids. Wish we had the chance to do that. You will be missed and you will always be in my thoughts!

our sincerest sympathies to the whole family for the loss of my best friend since 6th grade. He will be sadly missed by everyone.

Troy, Rita, Elaine, Michael: I am so sad to hear of this loss and I am so sad to be far away and not be able to give each of you a hug and look into your eyes. I know that the hole that is left behind for you as Troy moves on is a hole that is vast, unspeakable, flowing with sorrow. I am so very sorry.

I remember Troy as sweet, outgoing, welcoming, kind. He has a beautiful smile and a easy way about him that puts others at ease. These gifts will never be taken from him or taken from you, his beloved family. The love you have for Troy endures.

I send love and comfort across the miles.

Troy, you were my brother and a piece of my heart. I love you so much bro. My only regret was that I never got to say goodbye. These past couple days have been real rough but before I let the tears fall I think of you telling me not to cry and to keep strong for you. I will never forget all the amzing times we had and how grateful I was for having you as my brother. It will never set in that you're gone. I love you so much. Save me a spot next to you

To Troy, his family and friends: We will remember all the good times, the fun we had, the laughs and craziness that seemed to always follow you. Sadness now sets in our hearts as you have been taken from us. I will always have the memories now brought out from deep inside my mind and heart, and am reveling in them. I guess we will never run into each other or catch up again. We will miss you, dude! Love, Cheezburger
