He will be dearly missed by his grandchildren, Josh Story, Justin Story, Chad Hunter, Jacob Carvell, Jessica Carvell, Jordan Carvell, Jase Carvell, Lauren Wright, and Abbiney Story; along with 16 great-grandchildren and one on the way. He is also survived by his sisters, Daphene Cope, Luthene Polk, Tammy (Terry) Pierce, and Monica (John) Sanders.

Troy was preceded in death by his parents, R.A. Carvell and Nora Searcy; his brother, Michael Carvell; and his brother-in-law, Mickey Cope.
