Troy loved his wife, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren very much. He enjoyed spending time with his family, telling stories and jokes. When he was young, he loved riding horses. He enjoyed rabbit and hog hunting, running his beagles, reading western books, and listening to music. He liked to work on anything, whether it was motors, tractors, lawn mowers, or welding. He enjoyed sitting on his back porch with friends, drinking coffee and sharing memories. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
