He was born on September 2, 1965 in Honolulu, HI. He graduated from Damien High School in Honolulu, HI where he excelled in academics and sports, including Football and Baseball.

He leaves behind a loving family: his mother, Jean (Iida) Suzuki; father, Wayne Suzuki; wife, Erica (Helming) Suzuki; children, Christopher Koshimizu, Anthony Suzuki (Lynn), Alec Suzuki (Cera), and Ana Taylor (Landon); grandchildren, Naomi Suzuki, Finn Suzuki, and Kennedy Taylor; and his sister, Suzanne (Suzuki) Carll, along with a several nieces, nephews and cousins.

Troy was a devout Christian, and his faith played a significant role in his life and the lives of his family members.

He was given the gift of 2 kidney transplants that provided 18 extra years of life. We are thankful for the donors and all the extra time that God gave us with him. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him.
