Adam Troy Atterberry was born on June 16, 1962, in Mount Vernon, New York, to Adam and Geraldine Atterberry. He was raised in the Mount Vernon Public School System and went on to serve his country with pride in the United States Army. Prior to his military tour, he married his high school sweetheart and the mother of his firstborn, Troy Jr., Felita Atterberry. During his time in the military, he built lifelong friendships, especially while stationed in Korea.
Troy had a deep love for music and a natural ear for sound. After completing his service in the Army, he pursued a career in the entertainment industry, where he wrote for various artists and contributed to numerous creative projects.
Above all else, Troy loved God and his family. They were the cornerstone of his life and the source of his greatest joy.

He is also survived by a host of special nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and dear friends who became like family.
Among those who held a special place in his heart were his lifelong friends, the Blagmon brothers, whom he considered his own, and his daughter's mother, Rhonda.
Troy will be remembered for his kindness, his strength, his passion for music, and the deep love he had for the people in his life. His spirit, warmth, and creativity will always be remembered.
