Troy's fierce love and loyalty for his family and friends was never doubted as anyone who knew him would attest.  Now we ask that everyone create a dialog to talk about this horrible disease, that not only affected Troy, but so many families as this horrible epidemic sweeps across our small towns to our biggest cities We all hear the stories, see the deaths, yet we say “not my child”.  It is ALL of our children, our sisters, brothers, husbands and wives.  It is our hope, that in sharing our tragedy and heartbreak with others, it will continue to bring light to the Opioid epidemic that is right in our own backyards.  To all of the functioning addicts, we see you, we hear you, we won't forget you.  We love you.  

Visitation will be held on 6-8pm on Thursday September 7, at the Bermingham Funeral Home, 216 S. Main St., Wharton. A Funeral service will be held at 8pm. Interment will be private.
