Troy Green, born on a radiant summer's day in 1966, in the bustling city of San Antonio, Texas, departed from this earthly realm on the 30th of August in the year of our Lord 2025, in the serene coastal town of
Corpus Christi, Texas. He was a man of robust faith and unwavering spirit, whose life was a testament to the virtues of love, family, and hard work.
Educated at McCullum High School, Troy was well-known as a diligent student who carried his strong work ethic into his professional life. In his vocation as a licensed plumber, he was not only skilled with the wrench and pipe but also with the hearts of those he served.
Troy's life was anchored by his Christian faith, which guided his every step and decision. He lived as one who saw the hand of God in all of creation, and his soul resonated with the psalmist's declaration, "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." (Psalm 139:14)
His love for the outdoors was as fervent as his faith. Fishing and hunting were not mere pastimes for Troy; they were sacred moments where he communed with nature and the Creator. These interests were often shared in the joyful company of family gatherings, where his presence was a source of light and laughter.
Troy was a cherished son of Howard Green Sr. and Gladys Padier, and though he now follows his brother Howard Green Jr. in departure from this world, his legacy is carried on by his beloved sister Scarlett Heidecker, his sister Rhonda and her spouse Fred Bryn, and his brother Marvin Padier and his wife Laura, as well as by the affectionate remembrances of his numerous nieces and nephews.
In the words of the great poet John Donne, "One short sleep past, we wake eternally, and death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die." This reflection captures the hope that Troy held dear-that in death, we do not find an end, but a glorious beginning.
Troy Green lived a life rich in love, faith, and joy. As we bid farewell to this noble soul, we are comforted by the assurance that he has been welcomed into the arms of his Savior, where he shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Let us honor his memory by living as he did-with hearts full of love, hands ready to serve, and spirits attuned to the divine.
